Book Description
Shortly after burying her unfaithful husband, Georgia Peyton unexpectedly inherits the derelict Stardust motel from a distant relative. Despite doubts from the community and the aunt who raised her, she is determined to breathe new life into it. But the guests who arrive aren’t what Georgia expects: Her gin-loving mother-in-law; her dead husband’s mistress; an attractive but down-on-his-luck drifter who’s tired of the endless road; and an aging Vaudeville entertainer with a disturbing link to Georgia’s past.
Can Georgia find the courage to forgive those who’ve betrayed her, the grace to shelter those who need her, and the moxy to face the future? And will her dream of a new life under the flickering neon of the STARDUST ever come true?
My Comments: This is such a great book! The setting, Louisianna in the 1950s, represents a time when polio was somewhat of an epidemic. Georgia, the main character, continues to withstand surprise after surprise with a great attitude. I liked her more and more as the story progressed. Single mom and newly widowed, Georgia inherits a old, broken-down motel and decided to make it her dream come true. She faces opposition and a ton of hard work to make it a go. Of course, romance plays a part, but not huge, just right. The whole story includes romance, but doesn’t revolve around it. If you want to read a great book, a book that is different than the norm, I recommend this!
This book will be out the middle of May. I received an advance e-copy from NetGalley.
