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?

The plot is too predictable and the prose stilted. I woul not waste my time with this one
Main character is pretty good, railroad fanatic husband not realistic
It reminded me about how hard it is to raise teenagers and that I am glad that I don’t currently have any.
From early in the story, you’ll notice frequent spelling and grammar errors. The book reads like a teenager’s attempt at a novel, however so far the story is interesting enough.
Pleasant reading, not a real page Turner but entertaining enough
Trite and unlikely story line.
Good book about a fsmily and southern community.
slow to start story, but it got better as it moved along. Ended well.
Every newcomer can see themselves in the character
Easy read with several plot twists.
Boring
Enjoyed this book so much that I got the series
It took me a long time to warm up to mom in the book, but by the end she was a nicer person. Absolutely love the rest of the characters.
Too many characters to keep track of is my only complaint with this book. I loved the plot and the place where it takes place
It was a sweet feel-good book. Looking forward to more in the series.
Loved this book and the characters!
Makes one realize how careless people can be with important relationships and one another’s dreams.
Great book for just “getting away” and being in make believe, just what I love to do after a long day at work. I will read the entire series now.
keeps your interest
Good book. Growing up in one of Georgia’s small towns and attending school in a one traffic light town made me laugh just remembering my first eighteen years. And Chancery in this series is so like where I grew up. Thanks for walk down memory lane.
