This humorous story immediately captures the reader's attention. The characters, particularly Seren and Dave, are well-crafted, entertaining, and remarkably resilient. Despite their traumas, they continue to navigate life with courage and determination. Dave, who always felt like damaged goods due to his father's occupation, and Seren, who lost her entire family in a tragic accident, are testament to the human spirit's ability to endure.
Seren has recently lost her whole family in an awful auto crash into a bus. After all the deaths, the estate was liable for lots of lawsuits. All she has left is her (movie star grandmother's) home, which she cannot afford to maintain.
When Dave proposes renovating the mansion into a B&B and becoming a financial partner, Seren jumps at the chance. In addition to bringing the property to the partnership, she is also a Cordon Bleu chef. Before the end of the story, the last shoe drops when, on a chance encounter with a youngster, Seren decides to foster him rather than let him slip through the cracks of a group home or foster care.
This is an emotional story about characters the reader cares about because of their interesting lives and choices. A real winner.
