Story
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.

Miss Janie is at the end of a long and full life, but she has no intention of crossing that finish line until she’s found her girls.... It’s been ten years since Teresa and Kayla shook off the dust of Birthright, Texas, went their separate ways, and never looked back. Apart from their foster mom, Miss Janie, they don’t have many fond memories of their hometown. Or of each other. Still, neither can forget the kind woman who opened her home and heart to two teenagers in need.

Riverbend, Texas, doesn’t look like the crossroads of anywhere. But for four high school besties reuniting after twenty years, it’s a place to unpack a lot of baggage. Risa’s headed for divorce, Mary Nell’s been kicked to the curb by her leech of a boyfriend, and Haley was just blindsided by a shocking family secret. But restless army veteran Jessica Callaway, looking to plant roots, has an idea: corral her fellow former cheerleaders and renovate an abandoned church smack-dab in the middle of three dry counties into a bar.

When Jancy spies a Help Wanted sign hanging in the window of the quaint Strawberry Hearts Diner, the memories of the two years she spent there as a teenager - and the lure of the diner’s beloved strawberry tarts - are enough to draw her in and plant her feet...but only temporarily.

Publisher's summary
A headstrong woman discovers it’s never too late for change in New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown’s spirited novel about lost hope and second chances.
Substitute counselor for wayward teens isn’t how public school teacher Jayden Bennett planned to spend her summer vacation. However reluctant, she’s hiking up her jeans and heading for remote Piney Wood Academy in north Texas. Two months. Seven days a week. Few amenities. And three troubled girls daring Jayden to make a difference. She understands what she’s up against. She has her own burdens to bear.
Jayden’s not in it alone. The devoted elderly couple who run Piney Wood trusts in Jayden’s tough-love approach to get the job done. So does drill instructor Elijah Thomas, whose hardened boot-camp hide conceals a heart broken one too many times. Jayden is making it beat again. For both of them, falling in love is a risk. Because all summers must come to an end.
But with each new sunrise on these rustic acres, Jayden discovers that Piney Wood is a last chance for her, too. And with so many lives in turnaround, a new beginning for everyone could be a dream come true.

The only problem? Her eccentric mother beat her there and has taken over Dillon's old room. After a few nights sleeping on a sagging sofa, Dillon is ready to give up, until she receives an unlikely gift - her grandfather's run-down vintage camp trailer, which she quickly resolves to restore with the help of Jordan Atwood, the handsome owner of the hardware store.

The Daydream Cabin
This was a great story about a woman who seems lost and must fill in for her sister at a summer camp for troubled rich girls. I honestly was not expecting to like this story so much. But I enjoy a good story about the bonds that can form if allowed between women who are not related by blood. I love this book. l look forward to listening to more stories from this author and this narrator.

Summer of Life Lessons and Love
A big city public school guidance counselor is looking forward to a relaxing summer when a call from her manipulative older sister changes everything. Eight weeks as a summer camp counselor at a camp on a rural Texas ranch to a handful of troubled teen girls doesn't sound like a picnic, but she reluctantly agrees to take her sister's place. And, so a rustic journey of the heart begins and I was captivated from the first chapter.
Jayden is the oversized gawky sister compared to svelt, put together Skylar who has had her own way all their lives. Skylar manipulates and won't let up so Jayden gives in to take her place at the well paid camp job so Skylar can traipse off to Europe with her private school teens' music group. Jayden is a weathered teen guidance counselor and good at what she does, but she's been put down by her sister so much growing up that she sees herself as inferior. But, once on the scrub brush ranch and working with the people there and the girls, she truly shines and slowly works out her past troubles as she helps the girls work on their issues. Meanwhile, the handsome rancher who is a former combat vet leads a no-nonsense camp program and works his way into her heart. At least temporarily, she thinks.
Elijah was lost until his family, Mary and Henry, bring him back to work their ranch for wayward teens. Corralling the girls soothes some of his guilt over surviving on a mission when some of his friends did not. He's been content, but it's not until Jayden strides into his world that he starts to want something more and works to convince the woman that she's beautiful and talented and she's amazing at what she does at the camp with her girls and helping them all out. If only he can convince her to stay and follow her dreams.
I loved this challenging situation with the girls and all their troubles- bulimia, shoplifting, bullying, and substance abuse for starts- and then Jayden and Elijah who were working through their issues at the same time as they helped the girls. It was bootcamp and the ranch environment was no Club Med. My heart went out to the girls who struggled with so much more than what got them arrested and with Jayden and Elijah burdened by their pasts. I felt emotional a few times and there are sad things brought out, but also hope. Change happens along the way. And, there are liberal doses of ranch life and humor like when the girls were shocked out of their cool, hardened exteriors as a result. And, oh, that first scene when Jayden took on the ringleader and knocked her down several pegs was priceless.
The pace was perfect. The changes came at a steady rate instead of suddenly everyone is healed and happy. Just like the romance is slow burn and somewhat in the background at times. The eight week period kept it moving, but also left room for a lot of life to happen.
I've spoken of Jayden, Elijah, and the girls, but the older couple who were retiring after the camp year and the other two counselors were colorful and quirky additions . I love the author's salt of the earth characters and situations.
Britany Pressley is a familiar voice for me from listening to previous books by the author. She captures the regional accent and the charm of the author's writing tone. She has a nice flexible voice for young or old, male or female. And, she delivers the humor and the tender moments with equal ability.
I rambled on a bit with this one and wanted to gush and gush, but in summary, it was a heartfelt story of several people triumphing and a great couple finding their way to love. A story full of humor, hope, and a good dollop of country charm that I can highly recommend.

Entertaining but Predictable
I enjoy Carolyn Brown’s books don’t have bad language or sexual content. I just don’t care for that.

decent enjoyable read
I liked the fact that there were no x rated passages. TMI is not my idea of a good book. Just right and well performed, too.
