About this ebook

“A fresh, heartwarming voice.” —Jodi Thomas, New York Times bestselling author
For champion professional knitter Dymphna Pearl, inheriting part of a sun-blasted ghost town in the Texas hill country isn’t just unexpected, it’s a little daunting. To earn a cash bequest that could change her life, she’ll have to leave California to live in tiny, run-down Fat Chance for six months—with seven strangers. Impossible! Or is it?
Trading her sandals for cowboy boots, Dymphna dives into her new life with equal parts anxiety and excitement. After all, she’s never felt quite at home in Santa Monica anyway. Maybe Fat Chance will be her second chance. But making it habitable is going take more than a lasso and Wild West spirit. With an opinionated buzzard overlooking the proceedings and mismatched strangers learning to become friends, Dymphna wonders if unlocking the secrets of her own heart is the way to strike real gold.

Ratings and reviews

I found this book completely entertaining! While outside the usual genre of book for me, I found the premise of this one fascinating. What would happen if a handful of relative strangers were put in a situation where they had to live for 6 months in a small ghost town in Texas? While they all start this journey with the motivation to go being money, but in the end they find they end up with so much more! A very well done story that I would recommend.
