Synopsis

After garnering numerous awards for her light-hearted fiction, Sheila Williams pens an "entertaining sequel" (Booklist) to Dancing on the Edge of the Roof (F0160). Having escaped her urban existence, middle-aged Juanita Lewis enjoys her new life in Paper Moon, Montana-but she still has a long list of places she wants to visit. With her true love's blessing, she embarks on a journey of American exploration. When her eccentric friend Millie suddenly dies, however, she rushes home and learns she has inherited Millie's bed-and-breakfast. At last Juanita has it all-true love and financial independence! But does this diner cook turned entrepreneur have too much on her plate? This novel overflows with gentle, self-effacing humor.

Sequel to Dancing on the Edge of the Roof. I was thrilled when I found out there was a sequel and I was not disappointed after reading it. You'll fall in love with Juanita and her friends all over again and will find yourself wishing this was a trilogy.......more

Let me just say Sheila Williams is my new favorite author. This book resonated with me in so many ways. At various junctions in my life I have been Juanita Lewis, the main character in the book.
