Chesney Creek Novels, by Elaine Series by Elaine

The Palmer women are strong, independent and courageous … which doesn’t stop them from making mistakes sometimes. Marik made a bad one when she was fifteen. She decided to run away from home. Now, she’s twice that age. The unhappy teenager she was has turned into a mega-wealthy lottery winner and the only thing she wants in life is to go home to Chesney Creek and become part of the family once again … but is that even possible?

The Palmer women are strong, independent and courageous … but Serena is only an in-law, not a real Palmer, and certainly not the superwoman that her husband Rob and the rest of his family apparently think she should be! Three small children under three are too much for any woman to handle on her own. Serena is at the end of her limited supply of super-powers and can see only one solution for her situation, one that entails more heartbreak than any woman deserves.

The Palmer women are strong, independent and courageous … but even so, men take up a lot of emotional real estate in their lives. Whether it’s the wealthy Marik, suspicious of what’s motivating him, or Daisy with the shattered remains of married life, or widowed Dahlia with her choice of Bachelor #1 (the rancher) or #2 (the cop), they all have decisions to make – wisely, we hope.

The Palmer women are strong, independent and courageous … but changing situations may demand something more than that, if change is really the only constant. While Carol is debating whether the man from her past should be the man for her future, everything has changed – or has it? It would be wonderful if one could foresee the future, but even Grandmother Nonny would admit that it’s hard enough to see current circumstances with trustworthy clarity... moreThe Palmer women are strong, independent and courageous … but changing situations may demand something more than that, if change is really the only constant. While Carol is debating whether the man from her past should be the man for her future, everything has changed – or has it? It would be wonderful if one could foresee the future, but even Grandmother Nonny would admit that it’s hard enough to see current circumstances with trustworthy clarity. All one can do is step forward in hope and trust, and all Carol’s aunts and cousins would agree on one thing – that’s a lot easier to say than to do! less
