Publisher's Summary
Lucy Bowman would never have guessed that her best friend, Duffy McCready (of McCready’s Bait Shop & Funeral Home) has been in love with her since they were kids. Fear of rejection and his own romantic complications prevented Duffy from confessing his true feelings in high school, so he stood by and watched her wed Wayne Garten right after high school. Wayne had always been a cheapskate, so it comes as no surprise when he suffers a fatal accident while fixing his own truck.
Even as her family and friends invade Lucy’s life and insist that the new widow is too fragile to do much beyond weeping, Lucy is ashamed to admit that life without Wayne is easier, less complicated. After all, no one knew what a relentless, soul-grinding trudge marriage to Wayne had been. Only Duffy can tell she’s hiding something.
In need of a fresh start, Lucy asks Duffy to put his cabinet-building skills to use, transforming the town's meat shop into a bake shop. As the bakery takes shape, Lucy and Duffy discover the spark that pulled them together so many years ago. Could this finally be the second chance he’s always hoped for?
Once again Molly Harper “writes characters you can’t help but fall in love with” (RT Book Reviews) in this charming and entertaining love story.

Funny life after bad marriage
Lucy Bowman widowed and returns home to raise her child. Back to the simpler ways of life without traffic, and hopefully she can open up her own bakery. She bumps into her childhood BFF Duffy McCready would be single and still pining for her years later.
This story is about nosy neighbors, harassing family members, and classic country values that make you laugh and pull your hair.
Amanda Ronconi does a fantastic job of articulating all the characters personalities in this hilarious story.

Loved the laughs.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book.
Molly Harper does a great job incorporating love, laughs, anger and general quirkiness in her writing. I often found myself laughing out loud (got some interesting looks while walking around the grocery store pushing a cart).
Amanda Ronconi is an awesome narrator. Her portrayal of the characters makes them real for the listener.
