About Trading Bright Lights for Lightning Bugs – Book 1 (Small Town Girl’s Life Series)
Sometimes life throws you curveballs.
Jen loves living in the big city and can’t wait to enroll her five-year-old son Henry in kindergarten. Mike, her husband of seven years, finds the city lights blinding and moves their family back to the tiny town where he grew up. Graisseville, Louisiana doesn’t even have a drive-thru coffee shop! How will Jen cope with going from being an anonymous face in the crowd to being the new one in a place where everyone knows her name?
Her kids are adjusting like pros and Mike is settling back into small town life as if he’d never left, but Jen feels like a fish out of water. That doesn’t mean you give up. God doesn’t put you where you’re not needed. It isn’t long before Jen finds she is living a life she never knew she wanted. But can she give up the city’s bright lights and genuinely appreciate her yard full of lightning bugs?

Author Bio:
Jann Franklin lives in Grand Cane, Louisiana. Over three hundred other people also live in Grand Cane, and many of Jann’s chapters came from her weekly visits at the downtown coffee shop.
She and her husband John enjoy Sundays at Grand Cane Baptist Church, dinner with family and friends, and watching the lightning bugs in their backyard. Their kids come to visit, when they aren’t too busy living their big-city lives.
She graduated from high school in Russellville, another small town in Arkansas. She obtained her accounting degree from Baylor University in Waco, Texas and moved to Dallas in 1989. She still dabbles in accounting but has taken up writing to satisfy her creative side. Like Jen Guidry, she never appreciated her small-town upbringing until she was encouraged to move back to one. Now she cannot imagine living any other way.
