Publisher's summary

A headstrong woman discovers it’s never too late for change in New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown’s spirited novel about lost hope and second chances.

Substitute counselor for wayward teens isn’t how public school teacher Jayden Bennett planned to spend her summer vacation. However reluctant, she’s hiking up her jeans and heading for remote Piney Wood Academy in north Texas. Two months. Seven days a week. Few amenities. And three troubled girls daring Jayden to make a difference. She understands what she’s up against. She has her own burdens to bear.

Jayden’s not in it alone. The devoted elderly couple who run Piney Wood trusts in Jayden’s tough-love approach to get the job done. So does drill instructor Elijah Thomas, whose hardened boot-camp hide conceals a heart broken one too many times. Jayden is making it beat again. For both of them, falling in love is a risk. Because all summers must come to an end.

But with each new sunrise on these rustic acres, Jayden discovers that Piney Wood is a last chance for her, too. And with so many lives in turnaround, a new beginning for everyone could be a dream come true.

You’ll have a hard time putting it down. I agree with other listeners why did it have to end.

Cute story

The mechanical voice r and inflection of narrator was irritating at times. Her repeated pronunciation of the possessive plural of “girls” was bothersome. A cute story though so I finished it.

Awful accent

After being very upset with the horrible fake accent I managed to listen to the book. People in Texas do not talk with that accent. It was a good story with a very nice ending. Has Ms. Brown ever even been to Texas? If she had I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t have used this fake talking narration.

Definite Read for Educators/Counselors

For those who spend so much energy changing the lives of others to set them on a path to self-sufficiency and self-love, this is a great easy read. It’s moving and idyllic with a touch of realism.

Why did it have to end????❤️😍

It was a delightful story with the best narrator ever. She does the best voices and keeps them all straight. I loved all the characters and Elijah was dreamy. I felt like I was part of Piney Woods and having been a counselor in the judicial system for so long, I get it!

You will love this adventure

At first it started off where I thought I missed some very important detail, but I didn't.
This is a heartwarming novel about not only surviving but healing. I highly recommend this novel and towards the end, Have your kleenex ready.
