After a whirlwind cross-country move, Harriet and her have donut-loving basset hound, Humphrey, in a new life in Grass Valley, California. When Harriet learns that she is going to be a Grandma for the first time and gets a new suite with room for her pepper shaker collection, can't they wait for her best friend, Martha, to come visit so they can share her good news. But adventure is never far away when Harriet is round. After listening to the pleas of a desperate teen need money right away — and whose dad happens to be a gold mine they grant a lease — Harriet falls hook, line, and sinker in the enterprise. Although she is nervous about her investment, Harriet chooses to keep it a secret from her son, Henry, and his wife. They can only imagine what they will do if this turns out to be her ticket to a golden windfall. When suspicions arise, though, it becomes clear that Harriet never an ounce of gold can see. But will they continue to trust and risk losing everything? The fate of the young teen and a family emergency Show Harriet where her true treasure lies.
My comment: Harriet Beamer is a crack up! She is what I would like to be when I'm 72 years old! I didn't know quite what to expect from this book, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's a sweet slice-of-life novel about a woman in the second half of life that quite a bit of live links to do. I had strong feelings about events that have taken place in the whole and I my attention throughout the book. I want to now go back and read the first book where Harriet land on a bus travels. Thank you Booksneeze for a fun read. They provided a free copy in Exchange for my honest review.
