Blue Straggler
"Blue Straggler" Bargain Kindle Books
Brief of "Blue Straggler" Kindle Book :A blue straggler is a star that has an anomalous blue color and appears to be disconnected from those stars that surround it.
But this is not a story about astronomy.
Bailey Miller is "disconnected" from the cluster of her rural south Texas family. She has never quite fit in and now in her early 30s, she finds herself struggling with inner turmoil and a series of bad choices in her life.
"... The characters made me laugh, cry, and wish that the story went on forever."
Bailey's drinking too much (even for a member of her family), has a penchant to eat spoonfuls of Cool Whip, works in a job that bores her beyond description and can't keep a relationship longer than it takes for milk to expire in her fridge.
Even with the help of her two outspoken friends, Texas lass Idamarie and her quirky college pal Rudy, she's having a hard time.
"... every single Texas reference Kathy Lynn Harris made was so descriptive that I knew exactly what she was talking about. I felt as if I was living the story."
So she packs up her Honda and heads out of Texas in search of herself and answers to secrets from her great-grandmother's past. The novel takes readers on a journey from San Antonio, Texas, to a small mountain town in Colorado and back again, as Bailey uncovers not only the secrets of her great-grandmother's life, but also some painful secrets of her own. All while finding love along the way.
"... both thoughtful and laugh-out-loud funny! I also hope that the author is working on a sequel."
"... I laughed till I cried, then cried till I laughed. This is one I will read over and over again."
If you have ever wondered why you got stuck with the family you did, what you are doing with your job and your life, or had a sudden desire to run off to the mountains, sit back and join Bailey for this laugh-out-loud, yet poignant ride.
"... Ms. Harris ⚊ I'm ready for the next installment!"
"... I laughed till I cried, then cried till I laughed. This is one I will read over and over again."

Page-turnerBy Kathy H
Ms. Harris has a great ear for dialogue, and a keen eye for character in this sweet novel. I laughed out loud in parts, and many of the images stayed with me a long time. Just the thing for today's discerning fiction reader. (BTW I am not the same Kathy H who wrote the kindle book! just a coincidence of our similar names)

Still laughing, and smilingBy Leslie
As a Texas girl who packed up her Honda and got out of the state as well, I loved this kindle book. The characters are so richly drawn, and the story humorous yet poignant. Harris is one of those rare writers who has real affection for the people she creates--no judgment, no disdain--and because of that you warm to the characters quickly, flaws and all. She has a cinematic gift for dialog, scene, and atmosphere that keeps you reading. I found myself picturing scenes in that Texas cafe, high in those Rocky Mountains, long after I finished the last page. And Mac, well he's a Colorado version of Sex and the City's Aidan. Need I say more??

A Must Read Debut NovelBy The Kindle Book Review
I loved Blue Straggler by Kathy Lynn Harris! It had it all - amazing and quirky characters, laughter, tears, love...
Bailey is a 30 something single woman living in South Texas that feels disconnected from everything. When she unexpectedly loses her job she decides to leave it all behind and head to Colorado. Her goal is to research why her great grandmother had abandoned her husband and children and moved to the small mountain town of Gold Creek. She hopes that she will find some insight into her own inner turbulence.
The quirky people and unexpected events she encounters along the way to self discovery make this kindle book a delight. Ms. Harris has created well drawn, believable characters and a story that you will care about.
5 Stars! - Kate Farrell, from The Kindle Book Review
