Thank you @NetGalley for this sweet book! It was set in a small town in Texas, where everyone knows EVERYTHING but there’s also lots of secrets and as always plenty of gossip.
Lila eagerly heads to Aunt Gracie’s estate that she inherited to feel closer to her family and friends that are also family. She has lots of decisions to make that affect everyone around her while keeping everyone’s hearts and feelings in mind. It also just so happens that a strapping man has caught her attention all while trying to find out the secrets Aunt Gracie took to her grave!
This was a sweet southern read! Very well done!!!

It's a bittersweet return home to Ditto, Texas for Lila Matthews after the death of her aunt Gracie who has left her a centuries-old house along with a field of strawberries.

For more than eighty years there has been a secret that Gracie took to her grave that the folks have whispered and gossiped about. Lila learns things about her aunt that nobody ever knew. Once Lila learns what the secret is will she also take it to her grave?

Mystery and romance, it doesn't get much better than that and Carolyn Brown gels the two together extremely well.

In a tiny town in Texas, Lila's aunt Grace left her her old house. Lila returns to town and to the house and discovers family secrets that Grace took to her grave. Will Lila share the secret, or keep her lips sealed?

I recommend The Party Line with its well developed characters and great story line!

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.
