About the book:
Home is the place to heal . . . right?
At least, that's what Dillon Michaels is hoping as she leaves her disappointing career and nonstarter love life behind to help her grieving and aging grandfather on his small Oregon farm. The only problem? Her eccentric mother beat her there and has taken over Dillon's old room. After a few nights of sleeping on a sagging sofa, Dillon is ready to give up, until she receives an unlikely gift--her grandfather's run-down vintage camp trailer, which she quickly resolves to restore with the help of Jordan Atwood, the handsome owner of the local hardware store.
But just when things are finally beginning to run smoothly, Dillon's noncommittal ex-boyfriend shows up with roses . . . and a ring.
My review:
This was a fun story about a girl reinventing her life and renovating a vintage trailer along the way! I liked Dillon a lot and felt bad for her at the beginning but loved how she threw herself into helping her grandpa and renovating the trailer. It was fun to watch her discover items for her trailer and the design she chose. It made me want my own! It was also interesting to see the relationship develop between Dillon and Jordan, as well as with her mom. Her mom did drive me nuts as she had such different ideas and treated Dillon badly sometimes. I also couldn't believe her ex-boyfriend and how frustrating he was. Dillon had drifted away from God and turned back to Him near the beginning of the story and we see her pray more as the story goes on, along with talking to her mom about her faith and other people praying in the story as well. There was a little bit of romance. I would recommend this book if you like romance or fun stories about starting over!
I received this book free from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
