The Incredible Winston Browne by Sean Dietrich

 Book Excerpt:

"Beloved writer Sean Dietrich—also known as Sean of the South—will warm your heart with this rich and nostalgic tale about community, kindness, and the meaning of every day incredible.

In the small, sleepy town of Moab, Florida, folks live for ice cream socials, Jackie Robinson, and the local paper’s weekly gossip column. For decades, Sheriff Winston Browne has watched over Moab with a generous eye, and by now, he’s used to handling the daily dramas that keep life interesting for Moab’s quirky residents. But just after Winston receives some terrible, life-altering news, a feisty little girl with mysterious origins shows up in his best friend’s henhouse. Suddenly Winston has a child in desperate need of protection—as well as a secret of his own to keep.

With the help of Moab’s goodhearted townsfolk, the humble and well-meaning Winston Browne still has some heroic things to do. He finds romance, family, and love in unexpected places. He stumbles upon adventure, searches his soul, and grapples with the past. In doing so, he just might discover what a life well-lived indeed looks like.

“Sean Dietrich has written a home run of a novel with The Incredible Winston Browne. Every bit as wonderful as its title implies it’s the story of Browne—a principled, baseball-loving sheriff—a precocious little girl in need of help and the community that rallies around them. This warm, witty, tender novel celebrates the power of friendship and family to transform our lives. It left me nostalgic and hopeful, missing my grandfathers, and eager for baseball season to start again. I loved it.” —Ariel Lawhon, New York Times bestselling author of I Was Anastasia."

"The Incredible Winston Browne" by Sean Dietrich

My Opinion:

"The Incredible Winston Browne" was that it was quite a good read that will keep you turning the pages till the very end. Just imagine living in this small town of Moab, Florida, and having the camaraderie that went on in this touching story of the main character Winston Browne. We find Winston is the town's local sheriff who can do some very extraordinary things.

However, what will happen when a person is told he is dying? Will he be able to get done some things that were so important to him before his death sentence? Be ready for a load of some well-developed cast of characters that will have you in tears, laughing at some of the funny things that go on in this story.

This author knows how to brings a story to life as this story is so enriched with human emotions where one is trying to live without any regrets while dealing with mortality. Along with the story about Winton Browne, there is another story about Jessie. What was that all about? To find out what is going on in this story, I would recommend you pick up "The Incredible Winston Browne" to get the whole story.

The scene of this town of Moab, set in the panhandle of Florida, close to Pensacola in 1955, where the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the reigning NY Yankees in the World Series.' So, if you are a baseball lover, this would be a good read for you.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
