Cracker Barrel Trouble Shooter [EPUB ebook] 

Cracker Barrel Troubleshooter is about Bill Rawls, a college student whose guardian – his uncle – dies after having frittered away Bill’s fortune. All that’s left is a country store in a tiny former lumber town called Elk Shanty. Bill could probably work his way through the rest of his college course, but he decides to check out Elk Shanty instead. He finds:

• a pretty girl.


• a funny dog.


• a population not capable of supporting a store.


• a burly local youth who inexplicably hates him.


• lots of food. Like, so much.


• good fishing.
