About this listen
A restless woman discovers the comforts of small-town Texas—and more—in a bighearted novel about the next chapters in life by New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown.
Unsure of the future but ready for risks, Libby O’Dell trades big-city life for whatever the back roads hold. In this case it’s the small community of Sawmill, Texas, where Libby’s taken a temporary job putting an antique store in order. Her new boss, Benny Taylor, a handsome charmer with a three-legged dog named Elvis, isn’t a bad change of scenery, either.
Across the street Benny’s surrogate grandmothers—the widows Minilee and Opal—are ready with homemade corn bread, sweet tea, and an invitation for Libby to join their book club. Even if it is mostly a gathering for local gossip and meddling. The ladies’ main agenda: find Benny a wife. Except Benny’s not looking, and Libby’s only passing through until she decides what direction she’s headed next.
Truth is, Sawmill is starting to feel pretty nice. Benny, even nicer. Time will tell if this meantime job in a stopover town is just what Libby’s been looking for—and where she belongs.

Critic reviews
“Narrator Brittany Pressley adds a Southern touch to her portrayal of Libby O'Dell as she starts a new life in the small town of Sawmill, Texas.… Minilee and Opal are Libby's elderly neighbors across the street, and Pressley ages her voice appropriately for them. Libby hears the voice of her crotchety deceased grandmother in her head, and Pressley provides a suitably disapproving tone. Benny is a kind man, and Pressley brings him warmth that matches his personality. When Libby and Benny grow closer, Pressley quickens her pace for their banter. Listeners will enjoy Pressley's performance as she brings life to the small community of Sawmill.” —AudioFile Magazine
