<b>Home is where the heart fits . . .</b><P>Summer Murray is ready to shake things up. She doesn't want to work in risk management. She doesn't want to live in Hartford, Connecticut. So she plans a grand adventure: she's going to throw out all the stuff she doesn't want and travel the country in her very own tiny house shaped like a train caboose. Just Summer, her chihuahua-dachshund Shortie, and 220 square feet of freedom.
<P>Then her take-no-prisoners grandmother calls to demand Summer head home to the Pacific Northwest to save the family bakery. Summer has her reasons for not wanting to return home, but she'll just park her caboose, fix things, and then be on her way. But when she gets to Cat's Paw, Washington, she's shocked by her grandmother's strange behavior and reunited with a few people she'd hoped to avoid. If Summer is going to make a fresh start, she'll have to face the past she's been running from all along . . .
