A debut novel about luck and love, and winning a
sweepstakes, with a cast of characters who will charm
readers from the very first page The HomeSweetHome Network has just announced this year's
lucky winner of a brand-new, fully loaded dream home:
Janine Brown of Cedar Falls, Iowa.
For Janine "Janey"
Brown, hearing her name called on the TV has the
hallmarks of one of her aunt Midge's harebrained plans
designed to bring Janey into a world outside the one
she once shared with her fiancé. Janey, however, is
reluctant to give up the safety and sanctity she finds in
her tiny kitchen, submerging her anxiety and grief in the
pursuit of the perfect pot-au-feu.
Meanwhile, across
town, Janine "Nean" Brown just knows that this
house is her destiny. Good fortune took its sweet time
showing up in her life, but better late than never. And now
that it's here, the house promises an escape from the latest
in her revolving door of crappy jobs and drunk boyfriends.
This house will turn her into someone the world sees,
instead of the bedraggled girl who others look past without
a thought.
Both Janine Browns head for Christmas
Cove, Maine, to claim the prize they both rightfully think
is theirs. When their lives and
personalities intersect, however, they discover
that more than just a million-dollar dream home awaits them
at the water’s edge. These three women (oh yes, Aunt Midge
comes along for the ride!) arrive at their newfound mansion
only to uncover what exactly it means to truly be
"home."
Filled with wit and charm, The Good Luck
Girls of Shipwreck Lane is Kelly Harms's enchanting
and heartfelt debut--a testament to the many, many ways love
finds us, the power of a home-cooked meal, and just what it
means to be lucky.
