Don't Look Back

More about the book

Trouble finds the art ladies of Calhoun, Texas, even when they’re not looking for it. This group, including former governor Stubby, faces unexpected challenges when one member’s daughter-in-law suddenly abandons her family. Shannon and the others step in to support her eight-year-old twin grandchildren, determined to restore their happiness. Their commitment leads them to participate in a mother-child softball game, where they hilariously navigate competing against much younger mothers and managing a lively group of third graders. Amidst this, Stubby surprises everyone with an unexpected new venture that shakes up the community. Meanwhile, the missing daughter-in-law creates a web of confusion that intertwines with the story of Lila, a homeless young mother introduced in previous narratives. Themes of forgiveness, understanding, humor, and second chances resonate throughout the tale. As the art group embarks on a life-changing vacation, they reflect on the issues they leave behind and the choices they make. Their journey will evoke laughter and tears, prompting readers to consider their own values and what truly matters in life.
