Set in the off-beat Southern town of Willow Hill,
North Carolina, Susan Schild’s moving and witty novel tells of one woman who
loses everything—and finds more than she ever expected.
At thirty-eight,
Linny Taylor is suddenly living a life she thought only happened to other, more
careless people. Widowed for the second time, and broke, thanks to her cheating
late husband, Linny has no house, no job, and no options except to go back
home. There, in a trailer as run down as her self-esteem, Linny makes a list of
things that might bring happiness. A porch swing. A job that nourishes her
heart as well as her bank balance. Maybe even a date or two.
At first, every goal seems
beyond reach. But it’s hard for Linny to stay in the doldrums when a stray
puppy is coercing her out of her shell—right into the path of a kind,
compassionate vet. The quirky town is filled with friends and family, including
Linny’s mother, Dottie, who knows more about heartache than her daughters ever
guessed. And as Linny contemplates each item on her list, she begins to realize
that the dreams most worth holding on to are measured not in worldly success,
but in the sweetness of a life lived to the fullest.
