At 55, the career Brenda Maxwell’s built is gone in a day. As a temporary move to cut costs, she trades her L.A. condo for an off-the-grid cabin in rural West Virginia.

Brenda finds a second chance at life, and maybe love, in quiet Chestnut Springs. But will small town rivalries and politics strip away the happiness she’s found?

Not if her newfound friends can help it.

Chestnut Springs is an upbeat story of love and friendship that will keep you turning pages until dawn.

“[Bova’s] touch remains gentle throughout, her portrayals unflinchingly honest while still displaying a tolerance for human failing.”— Chesapeake Style
