From NY Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown comes a funny heartache of a book about overcoming days gone by, confronting the future, and defying all goals.

Everyone is talking about Jennie Sue Baker as well as the clutter she manufactured from her lifestyle in NY. The former high school queen bee—and wealthy darling of Bloom, Tx—has returned house after all these years, riding on a common bus and bearing two bounced alimony checks. In a town that thrives on gossip, Jennie’s fall from sophistication has shamed her mom, set the town buzzing, and caused old, jealous enemies to whisper in pleasure. They say she’s taken a job as a housekeeper, become a garage apartment, and might end up being crushing on Rick Lawson, a simple farmer with moderate dreams.

As romance starts to bud, Jennie relishes what it means to follow her heart, find real new friends, and lastly be herself—no matter all the lying town chatter. But destiny offers another twist in store. Rumor provides it that Jennie right now stands to lose what matters most…unless she can convince Rick of one true factor—and that’s like.
