The Second Chance Trailer Park

By: Powner, Katie

From award-winning author Katie Powner comes a funny, feel-good novel about a woman discovering her second chance at life.

This charming and heartfelt story is perfect for readers who loved Mrs. Quinn's Rise to Fame.

Fifty-two-year-old Meredith McGillicutty is not having a midlife crisis. She's just ready for a change of pace, that's all. The fact that she lied to get into a retirement community has nothing to do with being passed over for a promotion at work or her recent breakup with the only man she's ever loved.

Nothing.

Meredith only wants some peace and quiet. To sit on a porch in elastic-waist pants and mingle with other mature individuals who value a life of serenity. But the residents of the Peaceful Pines retirement community have other plans for her. These quirky and endearing neighbors seem to know her better than she knows herself, and they decide Meredith's life is only just beginning.

Blending humor and tenderness, The Second Chance Trailer Park will appeal to fans of Fredrik Backman and Lenora Worth.

An Enjoyable Read

An enjoyable read with humor and points to ponder. A wide variety of characters living in a retirement age trailer park, embrace a newcomer whose life is at a crossroads. Themes of friendship, family and finding a way forward with the help of others, gives the story depth and humor also. A little mystery and hints of romance added interest too. It was a fun read that had me laughing out loud and wondering about what kind of legacy we all leave behind. A good light read overall. Fans of Melody Carlson, Joyce Magnin and Courtney Walsh may enjoy this one. (An ebook was provided by the publisher. All opinions expressed are my own.)
