Insightful, humorous, and down-to-earth, Emily Beck Cogburn's new novel celebrates the possibilities of change, the courage it takes to make our most heartfelt dreams come true and the joy of finding your place in the world.

Sometimes starting over is the best way home...

Most

days, divorced mom Ava Olson is just trying to keep it all together.

With three school-age children and only a part-time job at a local

newspaper, she barely has time to juggle the small stuff, much less

stand back and consider the big picture. Besides, dreaming about

what-ifs is a dangerous habit, especially when her real concern should

be the competition from a much younger new editor....

That is, until she

meets Ford, a cafe owner who wins her over with his warm smile and

delicious po' boy sandwiches-and makes her wonder if there could still

be more to life than work and kids.

Then a new opportunity opens

up, and suddenly Ava is making big changes. Like moving eighty miles

away to New Orleans, working full-time-and discovering just how sweet a

future in the sultry Louisiana city might be-even if she has to explore

it on her own. When Ava begins investigating a story that promises huge

headlines, she's ready for the front page....

But can she rewrite the story

of her own life, complete with a love interest and a very happy ending?

Insightful,

humorous, and down-to-earth, Emily Beck Cogburn's new novel celebrates

the possibilities of change, the courage it takes to make our most

heartfelt dreams come true-and the joy of finding your place in the

world.
