Free (nook/Kindle/iTunes/DRM-free) The Mulligans of Mt. Jefferson [Xtian 1950s Novel]

[ATDrake]

The Mulligans of Mt. Jefferson by Don Reid is the 2nd in his Mt. Jefferson series of heartwarming historical literary fiction novels set in the eponymous small town in Virginia, this installment a second-chances friendship drama set in the late 1950s, centred around childhood friends who face a crisis situation that brings them closer together, free courtesy of Christian publisher David C. Cook.

We've previously received the 1st-in-series free a few times, O Little Town, if you think you'd prefer to start with that, although this seems to be a series loosely based on setting grouping, and this one looks like it can be read standalone.

Currently free, probably just for the next couple of days @ B&N (also UK), Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), iTunes & Google Play (both available to Canadians), ChristianBook (DRM-free ePub available to select countries), and may also be free via other venues listed on the publisher's web catalogue page.

Description
Cal, Harlan, and Buddy grow up together in a small Virginia town in the years before the second World War. United by age, proximity, and temperament, they get into—and out of—all the trouble that boys manage to find. They even earn a nickname from a local restaurateur who gives the boys their first jobs and plenty of friendly advice. “Uncle” Vic calls them the Mulligans, because they always seem to find a way through a thicket of trouble—family problems, girls, college, war—to success. Cal and Harlan and Buddy have been blessed with second chances.

Now it’s 1959, and police lieutenant Buddy receives an early-morning phone call: his friend Harlan, a store owner, has been shot in a break-in. Cal, now a preacher, meets Buddy at the hospital, and together, as professionals and as friends, they begin to unravel what might have happened to Harlan.
