LINNY'S SWEET DREAM LIST
Willow Hill #1
Susan Schild
Releasing Jan 5th, 2016
Lyrical Press


Set in the off-beat Southern town of Willow Hill, North Carolina, Susan Schild’s moving and witty novel tells of one woman who loses everything—and finds more than she ever expected.

At thirty-eight, Linny Taylor is suddenly living a life she thought only happened to other, more careless people. Widowed for the second time, and broke, thanks to her cheating late husband, Linny has no house, no job, and no options except to go back home. There, in a trailer as run down as her self-esteem, Linny makes a list of things that might bring happiness. A porch swing. A job that nourishes her heart as well as her bank balance. Maybe even a date or two.

At first, every goal seems beyond reach. But it’s hard for Linny to stay in the doldrums when a stray puppy is coercing her out of her shell—right into the path of a kind, compassionate vet. The quirky town is filled with friends and family, including Linny’s mother, Dottie, who knows more about heartache than her daughters ever guessed. And as Linny contemplates each item on her list, she begins to realize that the dreams most worth holding on to are measured not in worldly success, but in the sweetness of a life lived to the fullest.




Although I really did enjoy this book, at times it was just too sweet.

I know, how can that make sense!  LOL 

Still, I loved it for so many reasons: an older heroine, a dog(I'm a sucker for books with dogs that actually have a role in the book), plenty of humor, and great secondary characters. It's a heartwarming read that I highly recommend. 


Ms. Schild also had fresh voice/plot in this series starter. Her writing is authentic and witty.  I look forward to the next book in the series.
