Back to Blue Holly A Novel

NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS FINALIST Women’s Fiction “Witty, wise, and brimming with romance, Back to Blue Holly is a love letter to community and the irresistible pull of finding where you truly belong.-Patti Callahan Henry, NYT bestselling author of The Story She Left Behind Newly divorced and completely burned out, Dottie heads back to Blue Holly-the charming lake town where her family made their best memories. She’s hoping to find peace and a purpose. Instead, she finds a grown-up mountain town with an identity problem and her Aunt Lo packing to leave with a single offer on the table: a crumbling old hardware store with a “fix it up and it’s yours” kind of deal. Dottie doesn’t know a wrench from a whisk, has no capital, and even less confidence. But when she stumbles on a forgotten moonshine still in the garage of the Red Arrow, inspiration (and mischief) strike. Maybe Blue Holly doesn’t need another hardware store. Maybe what it needs is a brewery. With the help of a ragtag crew of locals and the unwavering, utterly compelling Crawford Woody, Dottie sets out to transform the Red Arrow hardware store into a small-town haven. But as opposition mounts and secrets rise to the surface, she’ll have to decide if she’s ready to fight for the town-and future-she’s only just discovered. Heartfelt, hopeful, and full of humor, Back to Blue Holly is a feel-good novel about second chances, small-town drama, and the unexpected ways we find our place-and our people.
