3/5 stars (liked it)
This book is about how Betta deals with the death of her
husband John. She ends up selling her
beloved home in Boston and just driving and finds a home in a small town in
Illinois. Something that John and she
had always talked about doing. While in
this town she meets some interesting people such as the realtor that sells her
her home, a young man who is trying to find love and rent a room, a 10 year old
boy that helps her with household chores and she gets in touch with her old
college roommates. Through all these
people Betta learns to do the things she loves and find her place in the world. I liked the book, it was short and I felt
like it left off in a good place.
