One reviewer said "There are no heroes in this family drama, no villans either --just regular folks, drawn with sympathy and keen-eyed humor."

Christmas setting in the South -- a mother, three daughters and other family members and friends. Not at all limited to Christmas reading. I enjoyed it.

In this well-crafted story of Josie Tatternall, widow in her seventies, is inspired by a friend's nearly fatal illness to call together her own three daughters. Her estranged daughter, Cam, who has not been home since the death of her father years ago. Light reading, but a good story.

In this well-crafted story by the author of Storyville (Viking, 1993), Josie Tatternall, a military widow in her seventies, is inspired by a friend's nearly fatal illness to call together her own three daughters?in particular, her estranged daughter, Cam, who has not been home since the death of her father years ago. What starts out as a family gathering for the twilight of Josie's life actually marks the beginning of her understanding of her achievements and, quite unexpectedly, her second chance at love. The story introduces a cast of memorable characters, primarily Josie herself, who fully reminds us that life, love, and growth are not limited to any particular age. Somewhat light reading, but a good story nonetheless.?

A sweet little book. I enjoyed it because I've always been fascinated by people who own B&B's. They really do have real lives?
