Betty Craven is the epitome of elegance, class, and perfection. Her prize-winning garden is the envy of her neighbors; her impeccable manners and epicurean skills have made her the βhostess with the most-est.β But all is not what it seems. The truth is that this fifty-eight year oldβs seemingly idyllic world is quickly disintegrating. Widowed and left with a modest income, Bettyβs Colorado gourmet chocolate shop has gone belly up, leaving her floundering for purpose and meaning. Tied to a house in disrepair that she canβt sell, and mired in unrelenting grief for her dead son, this patriotic former Texas pageant queen comes to the shocking and debilitating conclusion that her entire life has been wasted. As that realization hits her hard between her well-manicured brow, the rebellious spirit that Betty has silently kept under lock and key, explodes to the surface. When that happens, her staunch conservative world changes drastically, causing Betty to question every belief and opinion sheβs ever had. The path she chooses is paved with secrecy, eccentric characters, toe-curling love, life- changing events, and a connection to her unconventional garden that she never could have imagined. No matter how hard she tries, Betty Craven will never be the same again. Author Laurel Dewey β known for her gritty crime thriller series featuring Detective Jane Perry β has created a dynamic, funny, romantic, heartbreaking and controversial novel that will both enlighten readers and challenge them with its unique and timely subject matter.
