Sweet & Easy - Humor, wit, charm, and romance. The perfect summer read by Misty Williams

My life in Detroit was nothing like what I planned, nothing like what I expected. Certainly nothing I had ever actually wanted. I had to admit, before Aunty showed up and dumped the ancient, derelict family farm in my lap, I was just a cog in the wheel. A drone. An unhappy one. After Jason, I realized I had been looking for happiness in all the wrong places, and not one of them was within myself. Does that even work? Looking for happiness within yourself? I decided to find out before Aunt Terri and her enormous brood tried to set me up with another very eligible guy. So, goodbye Detroit, hello West Virginia! Hello family farm. Just wondering, is there a book, like a “farming for Dummies,” book? Because…

Anyway, I made up my mind to follow the path Aunty showed me on Christmas Eve that year. I'd do this all on my own. I made up my mind that there would be no more men, no set-ups, no blind dates, nothing. No more romance until I had the farm life and my life figured out. I needed to be complete in myself. There. Decision made. By Easter, I was in Harrison Valley, the charming, wholesome, picturesque little town that had sat for a couple of centuries between Ohio and Pennsylvania in the West Virginian panhandle where I intended to build my future. And would you believe it took me less than a week to fall in love with the most unlikely, enigmatic man in the town, with a mother that would make most sane women run for the hills? Yeah, that’s me. I’m determined like that. 

Turns out, I had a lot more to learn about myself and life and living it than I had thought.
