    About this ebook

    Kensington County is home to several small towns, landmarks, and communities. In this collection of short stories, we meet the families of Simplicity Avenue. They are good people, good neighbors, good Christians, finding their way in their walk with God, each other, and their questions. Sometimes, you really don't need to know the answer. Short stories of love and family
