Beschreibung des Verlags
Fans of RaeAnne Thayne and Susan Mallery will adore the heartwarming new romance from the New York Times bestselling author, filled with the healing power of love and the enduring allure of the drive-in movie theater, as a woman who puts down new roots in a small Alabama town finds a relationship unexpectedly blooming.
Kelly Jenkins heads to bucolic Blue Moon, Alabama, believing a new life will heal the two orphaned children in her care. Signing on to revive the drive-in theater seems like a worthy venture, until she discovers the property is in deep disrepair. Still, spurred on by the elderly owner’s plea, Kelly takes on the renovation, beginning with an ancient tree that needs to come down—and unexpectedly bringing on the wrath of her reclusive neighbor…
Seeing Kelly take an ax to his little girl’s favorite tree is like being struck in the heart—whatever heart Seth Morgan has left after losing his daughter. With his own attempt to buy the old drive-in thwarted, Seth reluctantly steps in to help Kelly, even offering her and her kids shelter in his home, a place that hasn’t seen a woman’s touch—or a child’s joyful laughter—in far too long…
Soon everyone is bound up in the fate of Blue Moon’s drive-in—and the new family taking root in town. Because it looks like the love blooming between Kelly and Seth just may rival any found on the silver screen…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dailey's emotionally rich seventh New Americana romance (after Hope Creek) sees Kelly Jenkins, 34, arriving in small town Blue Moon Haven, Ala., to assume managership of the local drive-in movie theater with two small children in tow. Kelly's been looking after Todd, 10, and Daisy, 6, since their mother, Kelly's best friend, died from breast cancer, and hopes a fresh start will do them all some good. Unfortunately, she finds the drive-in in disrepair and discovers that the promised "homey living quarters" attached to the job are really an old mobile home. Worse, while chopping down tree limbs blocking the projection screen, Kelly is confronted by an angry neighbor, Seth Morgan, who claims that the tree is part of his orchard. Despite this rough beginning, Kelly and Seth, who is grieving the death of his own daughter years before, become friends after he agrees to let her use his VCR so she can learn more about cinema history. As Kelly, Seth, Todd, and Daisy work together to restore the drive-in, Kelly becomes part of the welcoming community of Blue Haven while helping Seth heal from his sorrow. Their slow-building and strictly PG-13 romance proves heartwarming, and the cute kids only enhance proceedings. This is one to savor.
