Grounded, book #15

Fun Fun quick read.  Again, like the Amish book I just read, I was reading part of this on our bizarre flights home and I would look at the flight attendant and think to myself, "Hhm, I am getting a peek into your world!" Of course, you could tell how the book was going to end half way through, but it was still fun to see sub plots come together.

Also loved all setting of Beulah's house, a large farm "in Kentucky" somewhat near Lexington.  I could so see Beulah just like Grandma Campbell and her big old farm .... made me almost want to pack up everything and go back to claim the farm, but Annie had the luck of having Beulah teach her how to plant, how to garden, how to harvest, and how to can.  I'm not sure I could do it with just my BFF "the internet" ..... 

New York City flight attendant Annie Taylor is grounded, putting a halt to weekends in Rome and her jet-setting lifestyle. Soon her noncommittal boyfriend’s true nature is revealed, and to top it all off, she loses her apartment.
With nowhere else to go, Annie leaves the city for the family farm in Kentucky, a place she’s avoided for years. She finds a shotgun-wielding grandmother, a farm in disrepair, and a suspicious stranger renting the old stone house. The country quiet haunts Annie with reminders of a past that can’t be changed. She tries persuading her grandmother to sell the farm, but is met with stubborn refusal? Yet in the midst of her crashing life, Annie sees a glimmer of hope for a second chance.   Jake Wilder is contemplating jumping off the corporate ladder to follow his passion for sustainable farming. He’s almost ready to propose to Camille, a girl who wants more, not less. Annie believes Jake is about to make a terrible mistake, but does she have the right to tell him? As the summer heats up, so do Annie’s unexpected feelings for Jake and her interest in the land. When a sudden phone call comes from New York, Annie is forced to choose between coming to terms with her past or leaving it all behind. (picture and description from amazon)
