The Strawberry Hearts Diner by Carolyn Brown

 

Synopsis:

Being broke, unemployed, and stranded back in the tiny town of Pick, Texas, was not part of Jancy Wilson’s plan. Yet here she is, watching her car literally go up in smoke—along with her last-ditch hope of staying with her cousin in Louisiana. When Jancy spies a Help Wanted sign hanging in the window of the quaint Strawberry Hearts Diner, the memories of the two years she spent there as a teenager—and the lure of the diner’s beloved strawberry tarts—are enough to draw her in and plant her feet…but only temporarily.

Raised by parents who refused to settle anywhere for long, Jancy has never known what it is to have roots. Now that Jancy’s swept up by the warmth and character of this quirky little community—and by the pull of an old crush—it’s beginning to feel like home. She’s making friends and even discovering the sweetness of falling in love. But when the town is threatened, Jancy knows it will take more than its legendary tarts to save it. Can she fight for this little Texas town—knowing she might not stay forever?

Review:

At first I've picked up Strawberry Hearts Diner because there is the word strawberry in the title, there are strawberries on the cover and I love strawberries a lot. Everything on the outside is so pretty and colourful but when you begin to read it you realize the story on the pages is pretty good too and the characters add a lot of layers and colours.

This is the story of four women, Nettie, Vicky, Emily and Jancy, they are different from each other and at different stages of their lives, one of them wants to go back home, one wants to find her home and all of them feel at home at the diner, because often home is not just a place but a person, or a group, who appreciate you as you are.

I've really liked this book, I'm gonna read more works written by Carolyn Brown for sure.
