Carley Reed didn't have an easy childhood, but now, as a settled adult living in San Francisco, she has managed to make a peaceful life for herself. Everything turns upside down, though, one morning when a private investigator finds her and informs her that she has inherited her grandmother's house in a small town in Mississippi.

"This is the story of a woman who inherits money from a grandmother she never knew. She resettles herself in a small southern town and "finds" herself. There were a lot of diverse characters which I enjoyed. It wasn't the traditional book. I really enjoyed her writing style."
— Kelle (4 out of 5 stars)

" Great story, but ending was highly improbable. "

" this is the first book i read by this author i didn't like. it didn't start to pick until the end and even then it was kinda okay. "
— Francie, 12/2/2013 -
" I love books with independent female characters who find ways to strike out on their own and make a good life for themselves... women who, although fictional, inspire me to be stronger and better than I am. This is one of those books. "
— Taija, 10/9/2013 -
" This is a contemporary novel from Lawana Blackwell. It made me want to move to a small town somewhere. I liked how her story unfolded. "
— Tiffany, 10/4/2013 -
" This book held my attention but it was definitely not a mystery. There's no "who dunnit?" type of suspense. "
— Christy, 9/29/2013 -
" The first and only contemporary novel by Lawana Blackwell. Very good, well-written. Wish she would write another contemporary one! "
— Jennifer, 7/2/2013 -
" This book is at best marginal. Very predictable and very little interest to the book. "
— Megan, 6/6/2013 -
" Cute story line, but felt like I was all over the place in the story. Too many people introduced and useless information added. "
— Lizzy, 5/24/2013 -
" I love this simple little story. In a small town setting love can bloom. There is no trashy in this novel. "
— Shelley, 4/7/2013 -
" A good Christian semi-mystery. I liked the easy-going pace that allowed you to get to know the characters. I never did get the significance of the title, but maybe I skipped that paragraph. :) Not a thriller by any means, but a very comfortable book. "
— Saralyn, 2/24/2013 -
" Loved the book, good story if you want something for light reading. "
— Margaret, 11/21/2012 -
" Great mystery for Christian readers. "
— Jen, 9/15/2012 -
" Contemporary time setting,good character growth and interesting mix of characters ang plot. "
— Chef, 11/17/2011 -
" Good but I like her historical novels better. This one only had the one story line unlike her multiple characters in the historical ones. "
— Nona, 6/16/2011 -
" While not my usual fair (of adventure and sci-fi), I found this book to be thoroughly enjoyable. I found myself caring about the characters, and I easily believed they could exist in reality. A slower, but engaging, read. "
— Leausm, 5/25/2011 -
" It was a very nice read, and I did enjoy it. Some parts were a little elementary, and at times, the reader was a little robotic (purchased through audible.com). Still, over all I enjoyed both the story and the reader, and would recommend the book to friends. "
— Nicole, 3/22/2011 -
" I liked this book but it is not my favorite. She makes comments on how troubled childhood adults are "stronger" but they are not always so. They can be hard and unforgiving, I did not come from a "bad home" but I see what can happen to these children. Good storyline, okay character development. "
— Sierra, 2/9/2011 -
" Great story - to the very end. "
— Phyllis, 2/5/2011 -
" Quite an interesting plot but not an outstanding book. "
— Rachel, 1/31/2011 -
" I found Carley to be relatable, so I'm biased in that sense. I enjoyed reading the bond her and Brooke developed throughout the book. I'm also a foodie and love coffee shops so I was a sucker for the details about the menu. I wish they had a followup to this book. "
— Angela, 5/31/2010 -
" All of the other books by this author are historical fiction. This one is modern. there is a simple plot, with a few exciting spots. Very clean, good reader. Loved it! "
— Bonnie, 1/26/2010 -
" An easy read that I really enjoyed. "
