Little Town, Great Big Life

"A wonderful cast and a perfect setting."
-Booklist on Sweet Dreams at the Goodnight Motel

So what if Winston Valentine is ninety-two years old? He isn't dead yet! His exuberant show of life revitalizes Valentine, Oklahoma, for its centennial celebration. The townsfolk are determined to make this an anniversary to remember. Except Belinda Blaine, who, at 38, doesn't feel like celebrating. Suddenly she's carrying a child-and the guilt of an earlier pregnancy nearly twenty years ago. No one in her close-knit community knows of either, including her sweetmannered husband, Lyle. But disclosing this pregnancy will mean revealing her past and opening her heart. As Belinda struggles over what to do, she finds comfort in unexpected places. After all, in Valentine, neighbors are family and strangers are friends.
