TODAY'S BOOK GIVEAWAY
Piper Wick left her hometown of Pickwick, North Carolina, twelve years ago, shook the dust off her feet, ditched her drawl and her family name, and made a new life for herself as a high-powered public relations consultant in LA. She's even "engaged to be engaged" to the picture-perfect U.S. Congressman Grant Spangler.
Now all of Piper's hard-won happiness is threatened by a reclusive uncle's bout of conscience. In the wake of a health scare, Uncle Obadiah Pickwick has decided to change his will, leaving money to make amends for four generations' worth of family misdeeds. But that will reveal all the Pickwicks' secrets, including Piper's.
My Thoughts:
Another winner by Tamara Leigh who captures the transformation of Piper Wick as she travels back home to face the hurts she's experienced and caused in her home town. Piper ends up in various messes and awkward moments as she deals with cousins, gardeners, and an uncle who wants to expose the family secrets. There's humor and romance in this entertaining book.
