Textul de pe ultima copertă
She's learned you can't count on anyone--but she didn't count on landing in Last Chance.
The red warning light on her car dashboard may have driven Lainie Davis to seek help in the tiny town of Last Chance, New Mexico, but as she meets the people who make this one-horse town their home, it's her heart that is flashing bright red warning lights. These people are entirely too nice, too accommodating, and too interested in her personal life--especially since she's on the run and hoping to slip away unnoticed.
Yet in spite of herself, Lainie is increasingly drawn into the small-town dramas and to a handsome local guy with a secret of his own. Could Lainie actually make a life in this little town? Or will the past catch up to her even here in the middle of nowhere? "With equal parts hope, charm, and tender faith, Cathleen Armstrong spins a tale as warm and welcoming as a roadside cafE on a dusty highway. Exit from the fast lane and visit Last Chance. It's a place you won't soon forget."--Lisa Wingate, bestselling and award-winning author of "Firefly Island" and "Blue Moon Bay
"
"With an eclectic cast of characters and well-developed plot, "Welcome to Last Chance" pulls the reader in from the first blink of the warning light on the dashboard of Lainie's car."--Beth K. Vogt, author of "Catch a Falling Star" and "Wish You Were Here
"
"An outstanding debut novel! "Welcome to Last Chance" gives us a warm but never sentimental view of small-town life, sprinkled with characters full of quirks and faults--all seen through the eyes of a tough but fragile heroine. Cathleen Armstrong has crafted a story to cherish."--Sarah Sundin, award-winning author of "With Every Letter"
"A wonderful debut novel . . . . Readers will enjoy the simplicity of "Welcome to Last Chance" and the complexity of Lainie's character."--"New York Journal of Books
"Cathleen Armstrong lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, but her roots remain deep in New Mexico, where she grew up and where much of her family still lives. Her debut novel, "Welcome to Last Chance," has already won the 2009 American Christian Fiction Writers Genesis Award for Women's Fiction.
