She knows her life is about to change--and only for the better. Everything will be blue skies from now on.But business school is harder than she thought it would be and the big city not as friendly, until she meets a charming young man from a wealthy family, Loyal Chambers. When Loyal sets his sights on her, Mazy begins to see that everything she'd ever wished to have is right before her eyes. The only hindrance to her budding romance is a former beau, Chanis Clay, the young sheriff she thought she'd left firmly behind.Danger rumbles like thunder on a high mountain ridge when Mazy's cosseted past collides with her clouded future and forces her to come to terms with what she really wants.

Review "Buttermilk Sky" is a light and refreshing read with beautiful characters who readers will adore. Mazy Pelfrey is a gem whose selfless and naive heart is endearing, although her naivete can also be exasperating. Watson does an excellent job at keeping the story moving while touching on important subjects in a way that is not overbearing or heavy.SUMMARY: After moving from small town life in the mountains of Kentucky, Mazy Pelfrey is not accustomed to life in the city of Lexington. Balancing social life, chores and studies takes up all of her time. However, when a new beau comes along, Mazy is swept off her feet. As she grows used to the new way of life, her past comes calling and Mazy is faced with decisions that will change her life forever. [Four stars.]--Romantic Times

A 'character' book rather than a 'plot' one By Paula Vince Young sheriff, Chanis Clay, looks forward to eventually settling down with his sweetheart, Mazy Pelfrey. He's just waiting until she finishes secretarial school, which he considers a bit of a whim to get out of her system. He doesn't stop to consider that things may have changed for Mazy while she's away. She's been enjoying a more fashionable lifestyle in a bigger town, and the flattering attention of Loyal Chambers, a young man who is completely different to Chanis.A strong romantic thread is hinted at, especially with the addition of the lover's triangle, but as Mazy and Chanis are in different scenes, living their separate lives, for such a large part of the book, it lost some of its impetus with me. It wasn't the sort of novel I wanted to grab every spare moment to find out what was going to happen next. Having said that, I was vaguely curious to eventually find out why Mazy would choose one of the fellows when her heart seemed to be so wrapped up in the other.It's clear this is a character driven book. Many of the secondary characters are well-depicted. The 'girl stuff' at secretarial school seems true to life. Eva is the ringleader, who all the others tread carefully around because her opinion carries weight. I felt 'princess' was a good appellation for this entitled girl who felt she should have even been exempt from the dishwashing roster. In contrast, there's Cinnamon Spicer, the cheerful, poverty-stricken girl we first see raking through garbage dumps, intending to sell other people's trash as treasure. As Cinnamon was the first character in the story, I'd expected to see more of her than we did. She seems like such a strong, unique person to end up with what turned out to be a supporting role in which nothing much happened to her.Overall, although the characters were really well-depicted, I found the plot itself to be a bit episodic and rambling to carry them well. Still, some other readers may well love it, as I've seen books of a similar style do well for themselves. Jan Karon's books set in Mitford spring to mind. If 'Buttermilk Sky' does suit you, I see there's a whole series, featuring other members of Mazy's family, to pick up next.By the way, I don't know if this was intentional, but it would seem Chanis might have been right about secretarial school.Thanks to Net Galley and Tyndale House for my review copy.

Fragmented and not well developed...not my favorite Jan Watson novel By Renn S If you have read Skip Rock Shallows or Tattler's Branch, you will be excited to finally read a novel that focuses on primarily Mazy, Lilly's younger sister, and Chanis. Both of these characters have appearances in previous novels, but this is the first time they are the main characters. While Buttermilk Sky could be read on its own, I felt like the character development in this novel was rather limited. I understood more about these characters from previous novels, there was certainly more character development for both Chanis and Mazy in this novel. The other characters in this novel received absolutely no development at all, and at several points I thought they completely detracted from the story because I was too busy trying to figure out how they connected and what their role was. Loyal was a terrible addition as a potential beau because he completely lacked dimension and was completely unbelievable in his role as a result. Cinnamon was a cute character, but I thought she completely detracted from the story at hand and could have been developed into the story in a much better way.The pace of this novel was also rather drawn out, and it was hard for me to stay involved in the story at times. However, once the story reached the climax, the speed picks up so much that I had no idea what was going on and the resolution seemed completely unbelievable. I wish the story had moved at a quicker pace to begin with so that the author could have spent more time on the ending. The epilogue was disappointing at best.Overall, I was not a huge fan of Buttermilk Sky. I have loved all of the other Jan Watson novels I have read, so if this is your first time reading her novels, I would highly recommend reading her other works instead if you are disappointed with this read.I received this novel from Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Buttermilk Sky By lighthouse88 Mazy Pelfrey is a young 19-year-old woman, attending secretarial school in Lexington, Kentucky in the year 1913. Back home in the mountains of Kentucky where she was raised, she was kind of expected to marry Chanis Clay and have a family. She likes Chanis, but she doesn’t like the pressure she thinks he puts on her. Mazy isn’t so sure that is what she wants, so she heads off to learn how to be a secretary. She has a group that she socializes with, but for the most part they don’t treat her very nicely. She craves the approval of one of the group especially, a snobby uppity girl. Otherwise, Mazy seems to make friends of everyone else she meets with her kind and compassionate nature. While in Lexington, she meets Loyal Chambers, who turns her head by his nice manners and good looks. What should she do about Chanis?Chanis Clay is the local sheriff, the youngest one in the town’s history. He has been busy fixing up the house he bought about a year ago. He sets his house up as he thinks Mazy would like it, assuming she will agree to be his wife when she is done with her secretarial training. He sees Mazy as his girlfriend, but she has only promised friendship. He comes to visit her in Lexington and all the girls she hangs out with think he is handsome and in love with Mazy. Mazy and Chanis both come to the point where they each have to make a choice for the future path of their lives.This is a very easy to read story. There isn’t a lot of action or suspense or much climax to the story. The two main characters learn to wait on God’s timing for their lives through their individual experiences of trying to push forward their own agenda. Some of the characters don’t stand out and are a bit flat/dull. The two main characters do demonstrate their Christian values in their kind and compassionate actions towards others. This isn’t a terrible book, but it isn’t a great one either. Therefore, I rated it as average with three stars.
