Julie Engstrom knows that her family needs something different... a different place, different people, different everything as they all struggle to deal with the loss that has changed their lives forever. The last thing she expected was a huge and unexpected windfall that would make it possible. Now she just needed to decide what to do and where to go.

When she inadvertently came across an article that intrigued her and the photos that came with it drew her attention as little else had in weeks she had her answer. Before long, she and her family are on their way, traveling to a place that she never would have considered before.

It doesn't take long to find out that their new home was going to need quite a bit of effort put into it and none of it would be easy. But they had running water as her brother reminded her during their first tour of each of the old historical buildings along the single street that made up the small town of Mae's Second Chance ghost town.

And while they might have the luxury of running water... they desperately needed new beds and soft mattresses. But Julie quickly realized that the old ghost town, including its ramshackle saloon and sheriff's office with a single jail-cell, did more for her children than she could have ever hoped for.

And along with her brother, Julie becomes caught up in the mystery of the town's founder... another woman who came to this valley looking for something different... and perhaps like her, a place to heal.

Home to the Valley is the story of a family finding their way through the depths of heartbreaking grief after a tragedy, and who then suddenly experience an unforeseen and surprising financial windfall. How do they celebrate one even as they grieve the other?

If you're a reader who likes clean, thoughtful, and emotional women's fiction, strong family relationships, life-long friendships, and relatable characters... the Mae's Second Chance series may be for you.
