Just Fine with Caroline: A Cold River Novel

by Annie England Noblin Narrated by Em Eldridge

Overview

From the author of Sit! Stay! Speak! comes a tender, terrific novel complete with long-buried secrets, a three-legged pot belly pig, and an irresistible dog-an unforgettable story about love, friendship, and community. Perfect for fans of Mary Kay Andrews and Mary Alice Monroe.

Caroline O'Connor never dreamed she'd be back home in Cold River, Missouri, the Ozark Mountain town where everyone is `up your business.'...they mean well as they drive you crazy. She thought she'd left town for good, but now she's back, helping to care for her New York born mother-struck with Alzheimer's, and prone to saying and doing anything-and her father, the beloved local doctor frustrated he can't cure his own wife.

As for Caroline, she's doing `just fine' coping with her parents, her brazen cousin Ava Dawn's marital disasters, her mostly-deaf dog...and with Noah Cranwell, far-flung relative of a local family mostly infamous for running moonshine, an ex-veteran who's come to Cold River with troubles of his own.

Caroline believes she knows everything about Cold River and the people who live in its hills and hollers ... but sometimes life's greatest surprises happen closest to home.

Caroline O'Connor likes things simple, no complications. When her life becomes a jumble of taking care of her mom with Alzheimer's, rescuing her cousin Ava Dawn from an abusive husband, and starting a relationship with Noah Cranwell, it's anything but simple. Her traitor dog Yara has taken to sleeping in Noah's new shop and there's some history with Noah's family and hers that she can't seem to unravel. Reese, her onetime fiancé, moves back to town, and the moonshine always seems to appear when trouble is brewing. Why can't everything go back to the way it was, when her days were spent throwing out a fishing line with her dad and Noah still lived in New Jersey? But Caroline is beginning to think that having a few challenges may be a fine thing. VERDICT Fans of Mary Kay Andrews and Mary Alice Monroe will enjoy Noblin's lighthearted second novel (after Sit! Stay! Speak!). For many readers, spending time immersed in Caroline's world might be just the ticket.—Jane Blue, Andrews P.L., NC
