Carolyn Brown always writes great, easy to read, enjoyable books about strong Southern women. This one does not disappoint!

Jancy is a twenty-two year old, down on her luck orphan just trying to get to her cousin's house in Louisiana. Of course, life gets in the way of her plans, as so often happens, and she ends up in the little town of Pick where she had lived for two years during high school. Her father had been a wanderer, so she never stayed in one are very long.

When her car catches on fire in the parking lot of the Strawberry Hearts Diner, she is both angry and devastated. She feels like she just can't catch a break. The owners of the diner recognize her from her time living in Pick and take her under their wings and into their hearts. Jancy's story (and now her life) is filled with both good and bad, but the good finally begins to outweigh the bad. 

If you are looking for a quick HEA book, just pick up this one and enjoy!
