Lois finally has her life - personal and at The Green News-Item under control. She is getting married to a wonderful man, Chris, and despite his odd collection in catfish items which come in every material known to man, she is touched when he gives his home away to a needy Mexican family. Things are coming together so nicely, she's even starting to get along with the puppy that Eva, the town mayor, gave her as an early wedding gift.
But it wouldn't be Green if the wedding came and went without a hitch. A major tornado strikes right after the vows are said between Lois and Chris; whipping the town like a smoothie and randomly destroying the homes in it's path. Many are left without homes, and the ones with anything left try to help those in need. With Chris having just given his home away, and Lois still trying to get back to her little place on Route 2, will the newlyweds have anything left? Or are they now one of the many homeless people in the town of Green Louisiana?
So many times an author will try to depict a disaster, or dire crisis and it can fall flat. But somehow Christie manages to make the most unbelievable fate fall upon her characters and it is so realistic and genuine you actually believe a series of unfortunate events can fall upon this one girl we love so much. The Green Series has done nothing but entertain and humor me from it's first words - give Green a chance and you too can taste from it's wonders.

This is the best book of the series so far. While the first two books read very sweet with minimal action, this book had two big wow factors right up front. I have to say it was a very pleasant surprise.
I loved the fact that Lois and Chris faced a whole range of challenges during their first year as husband and wife. I have to admit though my favorite was what they were going to do with Chris' catfish collection.
We got more back ground on several characters and we got to meet Lois family. It was good to see Lois faith growing and Chris helping her with that spiritual growth. Great book. I loved it.

Lois and Chris have their wedding reception at the church interrupted by a tornado. With the town torn apart by the tornado, Green struggles to rebuild and Lois & Chris try to decide what to do about their house that blew away. The newspaper works hard to give the best coverage on the storm & recovery as Lois & Chris forgo their honeymoon and stay in Green to aid in the recovery process. This book showed a community come together in the midst of tragedy.
