Looking in your teenage daughters’ purse is never a good idea.
After all, it ended up with Carolina Jessup opening a Bed & Breakfast for railroad fanatics in a tiny Georgia Mountain town. Carolina knows all about, and hates, small towns. How did she end up leaving her wonderful Atlanta suburbs behind while making her husband’s dreams come true?
The town bully (who wears a lavender skirt and … lavender skirt and white gloves), an endless parade of teenagers through her house, and everybody’s talk about a ghost have Carolina looking for an escape, or at least a way to move back home. Instead, she’’s front and center for all of Chancey’s small town gossip.
Unlike back home in the suburbs with privacy fences and automatic garage doors, everybody in Chancey thinks your business is their business and they all love the newest Chancey business. The B&B hosts a Senate candidate, a tea for the County Fair Beauty contestants, and railroad nuts who sit out by the tracks and record the sound of a train going by. Yet, nobody believes Carolina prefers the ‘burbs.
Oh, yeah, and if you just ignore a ghost, will it go away?

I had trouble finishing this book – too many characters and it was hard to get engaged in the story.
This book dealt with topics many people face daily. It was written in an interesting style that kept the reader wanting to know what happens next.
Couldn’t even get past the first chapter…too slow moving…
Loved it, loved it. Very enjoyable .
Love this series!’
Made me want to visit
Good, homey reading. Small town story that was entertaining.
This was a fun book to read, it has wit and a little mystery. Being from a small town I can identify with Carolina and the fact that every knows what you are doing before you even doing it.
This book was just boring and irritating with small town gossiping characters. I stopped reading in about the middle and went on to something more interesting.
Loved the character development and universal doubt of parenting skills. I want to move to Chancey.
I love her writing style… had me hooked by page 2~
I have read a good deal into this book and can’t get anywhere with it. Apparently not for me.
Enjoyed the small town story and characters of Alabama
