The first book in Katie Weldon Series, Peculiar Treasures picks up just minutes after the end of Christy and Todd: The College Years. Katie catches more than the bouquet at Todd and Christy’s wedding. She catches a case of senioritis, which she’s working hard to stave off, in addition to unexpected changes that keep her off balance. But one thing that’s not changing is her relationship with Rick. They’re living in the slow lane, and Katie wonders what will it take to convince him to make the eagerly anticipated lane change that will speed up the progress of their relationship.
“Gunn is adept at denuding light fiction of its usual
tics-mediocre prose, clichéd characters and predictable plots-and imbuing it
with the hallmarks of literary fiction. The characters are multidimensional and
ring true at nearly every turn. The dialogue that ensues is at once
heartbreaking and utterly familiar to anyone who has ever been in Katie's
shoes. Moreover, Katie's religious faith never feels sentimentalized or tacked
on, but is integrated beautifully into the charming plot.” - Publishers
