Daphne Patterson hasn't just hit rock bottom-she's faceplanted. At thirty, she's an unemployed librarian, betrayed by her fiancé, and stuck living with her overbearing mother. To say she needs a fresh start is an understatement. When she unexpectedly inherits a house from her long-lost great-aunt Florence in the quaint town of Cobb, Maine, she sees her chance. The plan?

Produktbeschreibung
Daphne Patterson hasn't just hit rock bottom-she's faceplanted. At thirty, she's an unemployed librarian, betrayed by her fiancé, and stuck living with her overbearing mother. To say she needs a fresh start is an understatement. When she unexpectedly inherits a house from her long-lost great-aunt Florence in the quaint town of Cobb, Maine, she sees her chance. The plan? Settle the will, sell the house, and rebuild her life-far away from her family. But Cobb has other ideas. As Daphne settles into Florence's home, memories of the one summer they spent together resurface-books, to-do lists, and crackling vinyl records. The more she uncovers, the more she realizes how little she knew about her great-aunt, especially when a mysterious clue makes her question Florence's supposed suicide. Between eccentric townsfolk, unexpected discoveries, and a mystery she can't ignore, Daphne's plans take an unforeseen turn. With the help of new friends, plenty of coffee, and a few surprises, she just might find the belonging she's been searching for. But if she stays lost in stories instead of writing her own, she might miss out on the real-life happy ending waiting for her in Cobb.
Autorenporträt
Jacqui Lents was born and raised in her beloved Michigan, where her life has meandered more like a lazy river than a high-speed expressway. Before focusing on her writing and hosting her award-winning podcast, Jacqui Just Chatters, she was a high school social studies teacher, where she won the title of Outstanding Teacher of the Year. Before being Queen of the Classroom, she dabbled in at least fifteen different jobs-some more unusual than others. She has worked as an apartment leasing consultant, a night receptionist at her Michigan State University dorm, and even a janitor (where she mastered the fine art of cleaning windows). Her résumé also includes a brief stint working for an American football team in Scotland-because why not?When she's not reinventing herself, Jacqui can be found throwing axes (responsibly), attempting to conquer her TBR pile, swimming in her loch, or spending time with her husband of over twenty years, who has yet to flee despite her ever-evolving hobbies.
