The red warning light on her car dashboard may have driven Lainie Davis to seek help in the tiny town of Last Chance, New Mexico, but as she meets the people who make this one-horse town their home, it's her heart that is flashing bright red warning lights. These people are entirely too nice, too accommodating, and too interested in her personal life--especially since she's on the run and hoping to slip away unnoticed.
Yet in spite of herself, Lainie is increasingly drawn into the small-town dramas and to a handsome local guy with a secret of his own. Could Lainie actually make a life in this little town? Or will the past catch up to her even here in the middle of nowhere?
This book wasn't full of surprises, but it was a book of small town charm, faith and knowing everyone has their own little secrets. I wasn't drawn into the book right away, took a few chapters before I got really hooked.
Each of the characters featured have a story to tell and as this is the first book in the "A Place to Call Home," series I am wondering if the next book will tell the stories of those other character's? The way the book ended there is more to be told about Lainie's life and she was a great lead character. Also the way the author described each character made them feel so real.
Stars out of 5 : 4 Bit of a slow start, but when the story gets going you're hooked and wanting to know more.
