This is the third book of a three-book series, called "Single Moms, Second Chances." It is a real winner; all the major characters make major improvements in their lives and understandings of their own motivations.

Lauren is a single mom, struggling with one low-paying job after another. On a whim, she decides to move to Bella Luna because of a beautiful postcard. Lauren is an uptight mom who worries about her son. She grew up in foster homes and wants more for her son, even though Billy's father bowed out soon after Billy's birth. Lauren takes the only job she can find, as a part-time waitress. Lauren seems to have a natural gift as a chef but has been unable to get anyone to give her a chance.

This book operates on a deeper emotional level than most, thus its high rating. The people seem real and they struggle with their worries and fears. Nick, the local hunk, lost his wife after the birth of their son, to the bright-lights-and-big-city of Los Angeles. Debbie created a business in the movie industry and remarried. Suddenly, after 6 years of absence, she decides she wants a life with her son, Nick-J. She and her husband take Nick to court. The outcome of the court case is important to everyone involved.
