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 would recommend ,for an entertaining quick read!
A bit juvenile although, with a bit of character development and attention to editing, it could be okay.
Predictable
Kinda cynical view of people but realistic
It took me a while to get into this book. Not my cup of tea.
Fun and who knew there were folks who were in love with trains?
I couldn’t get past the first 30 pages. I was bored.
Trite.
This book is cute, but I personally enjoy a different pace. Well written, and others might enjoy.
Funny lighthearted interesting story about realistic people doing real things in the South.
Anyone who has raised a teenage girll will like this story. It’s so amusing.
Great characters and a different twist of a plot. Surprised at the twists in the storyline.
Fun series
I love the Chancey books.
nice familystory
I just couldn’t get in to it from the beginning—quit after about 75 pages.
A wonderful multi-generational read.
The characters hooked me in Book 1. Had to read all 5.
It was a bit of a tedious read. Characters were not compelling.
definitely different, but good.
