If you're fishing for a great read, Bitsy's Bait and BBQ delivers. Emma Collins wonders who in their right mind would use her hard-won divorce settlement to purchase an Ozark bed-and-breakfast on eBay. Her free-spirited sister Katy fantasizes dreamily about how this move to a small town will be just the thing for starting over with her five-year-old son, Josh.It’s not until they drive to Warbler Lake, Missouri, to take over Bitsy's B & B that they discover that in this part of the country B & B might stand for Bait and BBQ! The sisters know little enough about running a bed-and-breakfast, but a bait-and-BBQ? With their money and futures sunk into a run-down, roadside rattletrap, they have no choice but to roll up their sleeves and get to work. But as they settle in and get to know the difference between fatheads, night crawlers, mealworms and shiners, no one is more surprised than they are when they actually get the place up and running. But trouble is brewing. Katy's ex-mother-in-law is having second thoughts about the custody arrangements for Josh, and she fully intends to get him back. With the prospect of losing the little boy, the sisters face another challenge. Can a good plate of BBQ cure a broken relationship? And is this new, strange community the bait that finally lands happiness into such a leaky boat? “Written with charm and style, Pamela Morsi books are filled with endearing characters you won’t forget.” -- New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Gibson less
