About this ebook
Is his hometown going to break his heart?
Mike Kennedy's college pals at Cambridge refuse to believe that his hometown, Tide's Way, North Carolina, is the good-hearted Mayberry Mike depicts. They bet him money that no one in Tide's Way will offer him a helping hand if he spends a week disguised as a grungy, dangerous-looking homeless guy. Mikes takes the bet.
So there he was, spending a chilly, rainy Spring break shivering and hungry under an old tarp draped over the railing of the bandstand on Tide's Way's small common. Three days had gone by without anyone offering him so much as a cup of coffee. He hated to lose the money he'd wagered but even worse, he hated that his hometown was apparently not what he'd thought it was. Would anyone prove that Tide's Way lived up to its ideals?

This is a GREAT little short story!!! I HIGHLY recommend this novella!!! This book is a Great reminder to always be kind and loving to those that are less fortunate. My husband and I have always tried to help those that need it...but we lost some of that giving heart we had after our only child was murdered...but this book was a reminder to me that we need to start helping where we can again. Even tho we struggle as well, and don't have alot (my husband is a disabled veteran and I suffered a disabling injury and have no income) there are still plenty of people out there who have less than us that we can help. This author has my gratitude for this humbling reminder!
