    About this ebook

    Weaving together the story of three generations of women looking for a place to belong, Mornings on Main asks us to consider how we make our memories — what we remember, what we forget, what becomes part of our story — and reminds us that it's not where we live, but how we live that counts.

    From the beloved and bestselling author of the Ransom Canyon and Harmony, Texas series comes a powerful, heartwarming story about generations of family and the ironclad bonds they forge.

    Jillian James has never had a place to call home. So when she lands in Laurel Springs, Texas, she's not expecting to stay. Desperate to make some quick cash before she moves on again, she agrees to help an elderly woman with Alzheimers close her beloved quilt shop.

    When her son, Connor Larady, meets Jillian, he seizes the opportunity for some help. As she learns the stories behind each quilt, a tender friendship between Jillian and Connor begins to blossom into something deeper.

    Connor's seventeen–year–old daughter, Sunnie, has spent her whole life in Laurel Springs, and she feels restless. To Sunnie, Jillian represents travel, adventure, excitement. Is it possible to build a meaningful life in your hometown, or do you need to leave to find yourself?

    Weaving together the story of three generations of women looking for a place to belong, Mornings on Main reminds us that it's not where we live, but how we live that counts.
