Sunday at the Sunflower Inn

Jodi Thomas

Book - 2022

"The legendary New York Times and USA Today bestselling author brings a sense of nostalgia to the town in this delightful journey of second chances. Jessica Ann McKenzie--"Jam" to everyone in Honey Creek--has fulfilled her dream of owning the best restaurant for miles around. Serving candlelit dinners to every couple in town on Valentine's Day is a reminder of another dream, one she's just about given up on. Until, that very night, Sergeant Tucson Smith clambers out of the muddy river and onto her land, bringing the promise of something they've both been searching for. When McCoy Mason crashes on Interstate 45, he doesn't just bust up his Mustang, his leg, and his relationship. He also loses his prospects ...of a job and apartment in Houston. Honey Creek, home to his estranged grandfather, offers a temporary respite, a place to recover before moving on again. After all, what permanent use could a town so picture-perfect have for a man like him? At sixty-seven, Charles H. Winston III lives by order and routine. One of his most cherished rituals is a regular lunch date with three lovely ladies at the Honey Creek Café, including the very proper Miss Lilly Lambert. But it's not too late to surprise the whole town--or himself--by seizing a chance for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. And there's no better season than spring, when the warm breeze blowing in from the Brazos River brings fresh hope and second chances to those who need them most . . ."--provided by publisher.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Thomas's fourth Honey Creek romance (after Dinner on Primrose Hill) captures the charm of a small Texas town as its residents discover love. Melody Avendale, 17, is tired of her professor parents controlling every aspect of her life and rebels with a secret boyfriend, Michael Alderton. Meanwhile, down on his luck McCoy Mason arrives in Honey Creek following an accident that left him with a broken leg and a broken heart and works to rebuild his life. Elsewhere, 60-something Charles Winston III decides to finally propose marriage to his special lady friend, proving that it is never too late to take a chance on love. And, in the strongest thread, restaurateur Jessica Ann "Jam" Mackenzie encounters a mysterious man walking out of the creek near her café. The "mud man" is Sergeant Tucson Smith, in town to help his brother, the sheriff, investigate a crime. After Jam helps Tucson get cleaned up, the pair spend an unforgettably tender night together. The story lines are united by the characters' love of Honey Creek and the feeling of community. Through this immersive, mosaic romance, Thomas illuminates the ways ordinary lives can be transformed by the simple kindness of others. Agent: Gail Fortune, Talbot Fortune Agency. (May)
