A Chance Inheritance: Small Town Southern Romance
A Southern homecoming is always a little bitter, a whole lot sweet, and full of surprises.
Upon inheriting their sassy grandmother's home and family bait shop, cousins Lanie, Jodi, and Becky Cornell return to Catfish, Texas, looking for a fresh start. Turns out living as roommates in Granny Lizzie's tiny two-bedroom house and running the Catfish Fisherman's Hut isn't at all like the idyllic summers they spent as children on the banks of the Red River. The days are long and hot, the tourists demanding and rude. And then there's Chris Adams, a local river guide who seems to have eyes only for Becky.
But Lizzie's death has set in motion a chain of events that will cause a new generation of Cornell women to come together. And thanks to this chance inheritance, the Cornell cousins discover that sometimes an ending is really a new beginning .
Includes a Bonus novella The Third Wish by Carolyn Brown.

This was a disappointment due to the length of the book. I paid for a book not a short story. I love Carolyn Brown’s books, but this one ended abruptly and very few pages. WHY was it not a complete a story? This was a disappointment from my favorite author.

I was disappointed with the first book because it stopped abruptly and left this reader feeling that the writer just quit writing. Needless to say , the portion of the second book was even worse. I had no idea that my purchase included one short book and part of another. I don't like that kind of surprise. I read one other book by Carolyn Brown and enjoyed it. I doubt that I would risk ordering another.
