I found myself laughing at this one. Imagine you are an artist just kind of starting out in a small town and are asked to paint a portrait of a dead body in the coffin! And picture that a relative of the deceased wanted to paint him as well--although she was not a traditional painter by any means! Well this is what Cherry was facing--that and more! Would she be able to finish the portrait in time? Read this book to find out!!

In Halo, Georgia, folks know Cherry Tucker as big in mouth, small in stature, and able to sketch a portrait faster than buckshot rips from a ten gauge — but commissions are scarce. So when the well-heeled Branson family wants to memorialize their murdered son in a coffin portrait, Cherry scrambles to win their patronage from her small town rival.
As the clock ticks toward the deadline, Cherry faces more trouble than just a controversial subject. Between ex-boyfriends, her flaky family, an illegal gambling ring, and outwitting a killer on a spree, Cherry finds herself painted into a corner she’ll be lucky to survive.
