In May 1941, Bartlesville, Oklahoma, hums with talk of spring flowers, fishing derbies, and the growing war in Europe. And for the residents of a quiet neighborhood boarding house, the winds of change are blowing.

Self-proclaimed spinster, Bessie Blackwell, is the reluctant owner of a new pair of glasses. The landlady, Mrs. Henderson, senses that new tenant, Frank Davis, could throw Bessie’s spinster status into question with his gentle eyes and ready smile.

Review

Mrs. Henderson owns a boarding house in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. She takes in a new boarder, Frank Davis. And he has taken a shine to the spinster, Bessie Blackwell. Florence, Bessie’s sister, is not happy about this new romance and she intends to stop it with a big secret.

Y’all know I love a book with family secrets. This one has a doozy! Not only that, it has family jealousy, a magical house and some pretty unique characters! Now, I am not going to lie, this is a bit too sweet for me. But, I did enjoy it. Maybe I am getting sweeter in my old age 😜

The narrator, Jenn Lee was wonderful. She had such a calming voice.

Need a sweet read…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the author for a honest review.
