The Goodbye Café / by Stewart, Mariah,author.;
"Allie Hudson Monroe can't wait for the day when renovations on the Sugarhouse Theater are complete so she can finally collect her inheritance and leave Pennsylvania. After all, her life and her fourteen-year-old daughter are in Los Angeles. Allie's divorce left her on the edge of bankruptcy, so to keep up on payments for her house and her daughter's tuition, she packed up and flew out east. But fate has a curveball or two to toss in her direction. She hadn't anticipated how her life would change after reuniting with her sister, Des, or meeting her previously unknown half sister, Cara. And she'd certainly never expected to find small-town living charming. But the biggest surprise was that her long-forgotten artistry would save the day when the theater's renovation fund dried up. With opening day upon the sisters, Allie's free to go. But for the first time in her life, she feels like the woman she was always meant to be. Will she return to the West Coast, or will the love she finds with her sisters be enough to keep her where Hudson roots grow so deep?"--

Luna Wright is a lot of things, but sweet and trusting isn't on the list. However, she's a sucker for the underdog and a hard-luck story.

With a farm-to-table café as well as a menagerie of rescued animals (complete with a baby goat who keeps escaping to the pantry to eat the secret stash of decidedly not organic potato chips), it's the best home she's ever known. But when the owner Silas, who they secretly call The Grinch, passes away, Luna discovers the farm is now under control of his investment manager, the enigmatic Jameson Hayes ... and her. And that Silas had many, many secrets. Now Luna's carefully controlled corner of the world is threatened and she--along with some help from her friends--has to dig deep to find true strength and the real meaning of love and family.
