The Second Chance Trailer Park by Katie Powner

The Second Chance Trailer Park
ABOUT THE BOOK

From award-winning author Katie Powner comes a funny feel-good novel about a woman discovering her second chance at life.

This charming and heartfelt story is perfect for readers who loved Mrs. Quinn's Rise to Fame.


Fifty-two-year-old Meredith McGillicutty is not having a midlife crisis. She’s just ready for a change of pace, that’s all. The fact that she lied to get into a retirement community has nothing to do with being passed over for a promotion at work nor her recent breakup with the only man she’s ever loved. 

Nothing.     

Meredith only wants some peace and quiet. To sit on a porch in elastic-waist pants and mingle with other mature individuals who value a life of serenity. But the residents of the Peaceful Pines retirement community have other plans for her. These quirky and endearing neighbors seem to know her better than she knows herself, and they decide Meredith’s life is only just beginning. 

Blending humor and tenderness, The Second Chance Trailer Park will appeal to fans of Fredrik Backman and Lenora Worth.




MY THOUGHTS.....

Meredith McGillicutty needs a change, but she doesn't realize the change that's coming after moving into a senior-citizen trailer park. She meets amazing people, experiences the joy of unexpected friendships, and realizes the promise of second chances! Her journey is often quirky, always unique, and the humor kept me laughing out loud until the very end. Where else would a cat wedding be normal and acceptable?

Five years ago, I read Katie Powner's debut novel and was blown away by the beautiful emotions depicted in The Sowing Season. Choosing to read her newest book was never a question, but The Second Chance Trailer Park is somewhat different than her previous books! Was I disappointed? No way!

The Second Chance Trailer Park is a heartwarming, feel-good story laced with laughter, faith, and reflection. I highly recommend it to anyone who is longing for an enjoyable summer read!

I received a digital copy of the book from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
