Sometimes starting over is the best way home...
Most days, divorced mom Ava Olson is just trying to keep it all together. With three school-age children and only a part-time job at a local newspaper, she barely has time to juggle the small stuff, much less stand back and consider the big picture. Besides, dreaming about what-ifs is a dangerous habit, especially when her real concern should be the competition from a much younger new editor....That is, until she meets Ford, a cafΓ© owner who wins her over with his warm smile and delicious poβ boy sandwichesβand makes her wonder if there could still be more to life than work and kids.
Then a new opportunity opens up, and suddenly Ava is making big changes. Like moving eighty miles away to New Orleans, working full-timeβand discovering just how sweet a future in the sultry Louisiana city might beβeven if she has to explore it on her own. When Ava begins investigating a story that promises huge headlines, sheβs ready for the front page....But can she rewrite the story of her own life, complete with a love interest and a very happy ending?
Insightful, humorous, and down-to-earth, Emily Beck Cogburnβs new novel celebrates the possibilities of change, the courage it takes to make our most heartfelt dreams come trueβand the joy of finding your place in the world.
