How to Change Your Life…
Can a book change your life? Yes, when it's Simplicity, Muriel Sterling's guide to plain living. In fact, it inspires Jen Heath to leave her stressful, overcommitted life in Seattle and move to Icicle Falls, where she rents a lovely little cottage on Juniper Ridge. And where she can enjoy simple pleasures—like joining the local book club—and complicated ones, like falling in love with her sexy landlord, Garrett Armstrong.
Her sister Toni is ready for a change, too. She has a teenage daughter who's constantly texting her friends, a husband who's more involved with his computer than he is with her, and a son who's consumed by video games. Toni wants her family to grow closer—to return to a simpler way of life.
Other women in town, like Stacy Thomas, are also inspired to unload their excess stuff and some of the extra responsibilities they've taken on.
But as they all discover, sometimes life simply happens. It doesn't always happen simply!

If there’d really been a Santa, Garrett would have offered the old guy beer for life if he’d just haul Ashley away. But the new year had arrived and, sadly, she was still here. Garrett shook his head. He was so done with flakes. “Did you hear that?” he said to the vision of the cute, freckled strawberry blonde who’d been occupying his mind so much lately. But he didn’t care how attracted he
would’ve been really irritated over wasting two hours of her time. “There’s two hours I’ll never get back,” she said as the ending credits rolled. Dean chuckled. “I don’t know. I enjoyed that movie.” “Crooks stealing and getting away with it? Yuck.” “Oh, it’s not always bad to steal,” Dean said. “What?” He turned off the TV and kissed her. “Stealing a kiss is always good,” he said, and planted another kiss on the sensitive spot behind her ear. “So is stealing someone’s heart,” he added
giggles. Madre de Dios, what now? Chita rushed back into the living room. At the sight of her the giggles stopped. Her daughter was looking daggers at both Alice and her sidekick, Zuzu Welling. Zuzu had an adorable little freckled face to match her adorable little name. Zuzu was a demon child. She kept her gaze down but she couldn’t keep the smirk off her face. “Okay, what happened?” Chita demanded. Everyone looked at her innocently. No one said anything. Except Anna, who glared at Alice and
him. “Deano, I’m sorry. Am I forgiven?” The thundercloud vanished, blown away by a long-suffering sigh. “Yes.” Now his arms moved around her waist. “And I do appreciate you getting rid of household stuff we don’t use. But in the future, can you do me a favor and ask before you decide to dump my personal items?” She could do that. She nodded and they kissed. Dean wore a different jacket to the Icicle Falls basketball game. Problem solved. Except the next morning when she went to retrieve the
kind?” “Blackberry.” She frowned. “It didn’t turn out very well. It’s too runny and I didn’t put enough sugar in it.” “I think you need a second opinion,” he said. “Okay, but you have to give me your honest opinion.” He crossed his heart. “Promise.” She sat him down at the table, then cut him a good-size piece and put it in front of him. It was definitely juicy. And whoa, a little tart. He tried not to make a face. “Not bad.” “You’re lying,” she said with a laugh. “Okay, good effort,” he
