Contemporary Chick Lit
New and improved -- now with added goats! Welcome to advertising executive Jill Campbell's life,
version 2.0. Gone are the cheating ex-husband and the chaos
of New York. Brand-new features include a prestigious job at
a Boston ad agency, a stronger father-daughter relationship,
and a gorgeous old farmhouse. It's bliss -- until a snazzy
car account evaporates, leaving her branding...beef.
Un-snazzy, un-sexy beef -- which she hasn't eaten in twenty
years. Talk about false advertising. Owning a
two-hundred-year-old house in a one-store hamlet is not the
nirvana Jill imagined, even with the addition of a dog, two
needy goats, and unexpected encounters with the town's most
eligible -- and probably only -- bachelor. Peace of mind sold separately. Wondering how she sold herself on this new existence, Jill
forms an unlikely bond with Sarah Watson, a feisty
twelve-year-old with an aversion to training bras, makeup,
and all the trappings that supposedly make sixth grade
worthwhile. While Sarah teaches Jill the basics of home
maintenance and animal husbandry, Jill helps Sarah deal with
impending womanhood. And as men start to complicate matters,
every idea Jill ever had about love and advertising gets
turned on its head. Suddenly, her life looks nothing like
the picture on the box, but it could turn out to be exactly
what she didn't know she needed.
