A sweet-as-honey, heartwarming novel about first loves, second chances, and the importance of following your heart for fans of Jenny Hale and Jill Shalvis, inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion. It's been eight long years since May Anderson's high school sweetheart Tom Riley drove down Main Street in his truck, leaving Hillsboro, California--and May--in his rearview mirror. Now he's back and, try as they might, the pair can't avoid each other. As Hillsboro prepares to host the prestigious North West Food and Wine Festival, Tom and May are reluctantly called in to plan the big event. Tom needs May's help to repair his bad-boy reputation and, with the whole town counting on them, May and Tom need to learn to trust each other again. May is determined to protect her heart, but a lot has changed since high school. She can't help but notice how the skinny boy she used to know is now a man who perfectly fills out his button-down, and Tom can't seem to tear his gaze away from May's sweet smile. It's clear old feelings are surfacing again, but there is a secret keeping them apart and, until they find the courage to face it, their second chance summer will be only that . . .

The Collaborative Body in Qualitative Research challenges normative philosophies that have frequently neglected the body’s place in research and then illustrates how the body is essential for all meaning making. By ‘voicing the body’, the first part of this rebellious book problematizes how the body is used/assessed, yet often silenced in academic writing. This book then fluidly moves to celebrating the body through discussing taboo topics like sex/sexuality in friendship, underwear (knickers), ageing, and death, as well as how a non-binary body moves in a heteronormative world. Through the lens of Bodyography, this book does research differently – illuminating how the body flourishes, excites knowledge, and is complicated when placed on a ‘screen’. This book celebrates a collaborative and arts-based approach. This book is a dialogue between The Bodies Collective, with dialogic resonance sections between each chapter and art pieces throughout. This book will encourage all scholars to do research differently. Anyone with a thirst to challenge normative practices in academia and who wants research to be inspiring and playful will fall in love with this book.
This book shares the nomadology of Alys-we searching for the Ideal School around the world, sharing stories from places educating differently to traditional education, hoping to inspire readers to be part of a paradigm shift.

Young women needed for the Fortune Springs Town Improvement Initiative. One year's room and board provided." I should have known it was too good to be true when I first saw the ad. It turns out that Fortune Springs, Colorado isn't just a one-horse town, it's a two-woman one, and this is their attempt to keep the community alive. I want to say the scheme is ridiculous, totally outdated, but I'm carrying everything I own in my canvas backpack and the greyhound I stepped off this morning is long gone. If this is my chance at a fresh start, I'd better grab it with both hands. I know I should feel guilty about pretending to be a lonely heart willing to help repopulate this rural logging town, but all I feel is relief at having escaped the apartment in Savannah. And after all, what's one more secret to add to the pile? I only hope I've hidden my tracks well enough, and that the kind Fortune Springs locals who've opened their doors to me will never find out what made me run away in the first place... An emotional, gripping story full of family drama. Fans of Carolyn Brown, Robyn Carr and Debbie Macomber will be hooked. Readers love Alys Murray: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Fabulous... Will remain with you long after you've reached the last page... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." Brook Cottage Books Blog ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Another 2 a.m. read! I absolutely could not put this book down. Funny, emotional, all at once." Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Funny, smart, emotional and memorable all at the same time. It's hard to put this book down." Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Swept me away in its warmth. I couldn't stay away until I finished... feels and fun, family and love." Goodreads reviewer
