Amazon READ AN EXCERPT A clean and uplifting novel about overcoming the past and opening a closed heart to find a full and happy life because of the obstacles that block your way, not in spite of them. Abby Barrett is in big trouble. The FBI has seized all of her property and she is living in a tiny, shabby apartment working a dead-end job. Gone are the luxury vacations, fancy restaurants and shopping sprees she once enjoyed with her soon-to-be-ex-husband, now known as Inmate 649238. And while Abby knew nothing of her husband’s Ponzi scheme, she has become a notorious pariah in her once-glamourous social circle. Then an anonymous benefactor offers an incredible and unbelievable proposition that will allow thirty-eight-year-old Abby to start over, away from the undeserved reputation she can’t seem to shake. But there’s a catch. She must move to a tiny Minnesota town called Wander Creek for a year and start a business. As preposterous as it sounds, what does Abby have to lose? She's already lost everything. Literally. Could this be Abby's chance to start over and reinvent herself? With the help of new friends and a frenemy or two, Abby makes a fresh start. And of course, there is that handsome outdoor adventure outfitter Abby can’t stop thinking about, despite the industrial-strength lock and chain over her heart. Soon, Abby’s misplaced guilt diminishes, and her self-worth blossoms. But underneath everything looms the unanswered question: Who is the benefactor, and why did they choose Abby for their largess? As the year draws to a close and the truth emerges, more secrets are revealed, ensuring that Abby’s life and emotions remain a roller-coaster poised to jump its tracks. If you love wholesome women's fiction that celebrates friendship, second chances and the joys of a live well-lived, all against the backdrop of small-town living, you will want to return to Wander Creek again and again! |
