Home is the place to heal, right? At least, that's what Dillon Michaels is hoping as she leaves her disappointing career and nonstarter love life behind to help her grieving and aging grandfather on his small Oregon farm. The only problem? Her eccentric mother beat her there and has taken over Dillon's old room. After a few nights sleeping on a sagging sofa, Dillon is ready to give up, until she receives an unlikely gift -- her grandfather's run-down vintage camp trailer, which she quickly resolves to restore with the help of Jordan Atwood, the handsome owner of the local hardware store. But just when things are finally beginning to run smoothly, Dillon's noncommittal ex-boyfriend shows up with roses... and a ring. Full of quirky characters, family drama, and sweet romance, The Happy Camper will have you scouring Craigslist for your own diamond-in-the-rough camper to restore and haunting your local hardware store for a handy guy to help your dreams come true.
I absolutely love this book! I also enjoy reading about people that love the great outdoors, planting, harvesting, and renovation projects. The colors and images described throughout the story are completely fresh and whimsical. As someone said, "I could truly see this book being made into a Hallmark movie." Getting to know and understand each significant character was fun and endearing. The interactions between Dillon, her mother, grandfather, Jordan, and the unforgettable ex-boyfriend makes this a very exciting and memorable read.
The Happy Camper is also available for checkout in eBook and eAudiobook formats.
