Summary
A homeless young woman finds an unexpected family in beloved New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown's novel of healing hearts and new beginnings in a small Texas town.
In the fading town of Rooster, Texas, all that's really left is a service station, a church…and the Banty House, a long-ago Depression-era brothel. For more than seventy-five years, Betsy, Connie, and Kate Carson have called their mama's house a home. The three eccentric sisters get by just fine with their homemade jams and jellies, a little moonshine on the side, and big hearts always open to strangers. Like Ginger Andrews.
An abandoned teen with a baby on the way and nowhere to go, she's given a room to call her own for as long as she wants. The kind invitation is made all the sweeter when Ginger meets the sisters' young handyman, Sloan Baker. But with a past as broken as Ginger's, he's vowed never to get close to anyone again. As a season of change unfolds, Ginger and Sloan might discover a warm haven to heal in the Banty House, a place to finally belong, where hope and dreams never fade.

Sweet, funny, and feel good
I stumbled across this book and was delighted to see that with KU it had the free narration/audiobook option.
The story is a lovely mixture of sweetness, humour, and feel good. The characters are very likeable individuals who have all known pain in their pasts, but who find peace at the Banty House together.
The narrator did a splendid job on the dialogue parts, and I really enjoyed the variety of accents for the 5 main characters.
My only criticism would be that as there are 5 main characters/POVs, and 3 of those are ladies who are over 75 years old, when not reading dialogue, the narrator (who is a woman several decades younger than 75 and, naturally, sounds like it) reads in her “normal voice”, so for the older ladies’ POVs the narrator’s normal voice doesn’t seem mature enough. However, I enjoyed the overall performance and story so much that I wouldn’t knock off a whole star for this point.

Absolutely lovely
Carolyn Brown has done it again! I love a “feel good” book! This is my happy place. Slow paced like a warm summer day! Reminds me of fresh peach cobbler and my mother’s clean, sun filled kitchen. Complete nostalgia.
I love it!!!

Enjoyable
Visible likeable characters. I found the narrators voice a little of putting at first but I stayed with it and found it blended with story. Good ending.
