About this ebook
"An absolute must read by a standout voice. Fans of Susan Mallery and Debbie Macomber will devour this captivating novel.” —Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times Bestselling author of Under the Southern Sky
It’s her second chance summer…if she’s ready for it—in this warm and utterly irresistible Southern small-town novel.
When Avery Lansing Crawford left her hometown of Camellia, Alabama, she was the darling of the town. A beauty queen. Now she’s come back a disgraced and divorced mom who’s lost almost everything—her home, her husband, even her design TV show—all while the public watched. And if the humiliation wasn’t bad enough, Avery and her two small children are moving in with her mama…just in time to give everyone in Camellia something to talk about.
And oh, they’re talkin’. Especially when Avery reignites her old friendship with Cole Whitaker, who’s offered Avery the opportunity to do something real: a redesign project that would help survivors of human trafficking. It could kick-start both her career and her confidence—not to mention give her a chance to spend more time with Cole.
With three generations of strong Southern women around the family dinner table, coming home to Camellia could be the perfect fresh start. Even if Avery is the topic of salacious gossip over sweet tea and her grandmother won’t stop interfering in her love life. But the bonds of family and the promise of second chances just might lead to a future that looks nothing like she expected.

When one life is ruined, it leaves a chance for a new one to begin. For Avery, a divorced mother of two has a chance to develop a new path with all its pitfalls and successes. She is plagued by the loss of confidence in her abilities due to the machinations of her ex-husband’s lover and partner in the business they all ran. Avery has no home and has to return to her childhood home. A meddling grandmother gives it her best to reunite Avery with her longtime friend, Cole. Due to Avery’s social media presence and the gossipping town, criticisms of her almost cripple her but she perseveres and continues to move forward with Cole’s assurances of her talent. A delightful look at family, social media, and a second chance for love. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
