I really enjoyed reading this book about Chessie Chesterfield & Derrick McCullough on the Lazy A + 8 ranch in Creeds Crossing Wyoming. Chessie had just left a bed & breakfast that was awful, she'd been on the road for about forty-five minutes when her car up and died, she pulled over and called triple A, she explained the situation and the person on the phone said, okay the sheriff should be alone in five minutes, can you get out of your car safely, yes she climbed to the passenger side and got out, next to a huge field. She looked up and said its a beautiful day the sky is blue, and the sun is shinning and it's just beautiful out here. Just then she saw blue flashing lights, and told the lady on the phone I think the sheriff just pulled up, thanks for holding on the line. The sheriff asked for her license and insurance info, she produced both, he verified she was Donna Chesterfield from St. Augustine, FL, he asked what she was doing so far from home, and she said I travel for my job. The sheriff asked what she did, I critic bed & breakfasts all across the country so I'm on the road most of the year. Okay, I found somebody who will pick you up, he'll be here in a few minutes, Chessie this is Brent McCullough and he'll bring you into town, enjoy your stay here, and the sheriff took off. Brent drove Chessie into town, took her to the mechanics shop, said I have some errands to do I'll check back in with you later, she thanked him for the ride into town. The receptionist told her to take a seat, they would be with her shortly, about a half hour later the mechanic came and said well you have a big problem, the computer system died, it is under warranty but I can't get the part until Monday, Monday are you crazy I have a schedule I have to keep, I'm sorry ma'am that's the best I can do, but I'll make sure the car is ready before noon on Monday, now let the receptionist call Brent and let him know you are ready to go. I can't go with him, I need to find a B&B or a hotel/motel, sorry we're a small town nothing like that here, but if the Lazy A + 8 is willing to put you up, just say thank you, they will make sure you enjoy your stay here in Creeds Crossing. Read this book because it will make you laugh, and cry, it's about a big family who live on a ranch in the middle of know-where who grow food to sustain everybody and every living creature on said ranch and supplement the rest as needed. They are a great group of people who welcome a complete stranger into their lives, take her under their wing and show her some down home hospitality the likes she has never seen. While she's on this ranch she falls in love with the eldest son Derrick, it's a bumpy ride, with lots of twists and turns. Enjoy reading this heart warming story!
