YOU ALWAYS HAVE ONE MORE... LAST CHANCE"LAST CHANCE SUMMER" by Hope Ramsay brings to life a small town and their Watermelon Festival.  This story features Amanda, a card carrying member of the Sandwich Generation - a single, war-widowed mom taking care of her 4 year old son and also her 80 year old early-stages dementia grandmother.  It's the day of the Watermelon Festival and Amanda is feeling the stress of all she has lost - in all contexts of the word.  This very short story (55 pages) packs a punch dealing with the themes of "Lost and Found".  This is the latest entry in the series about the town of Last Chance (I think this makes the 10th one) and it is a look at a sweet Southern town with old-fashioned values.  This is definitely a book you could loan your Mom (& I'll probably recommend the series to my Mom) and is similar to stories such as written by Debbie Macomber or Sherryl Woods.  While the story's ending is a bit abrupt, it's still just as cool and refreshing as, well, a slice of cold watermelon on a hot summer day.  If you get the chance to read it - enjoy!Note:  I was given a copy of this short story to read in exchange for this HONEST review.ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON SNARKYMOMREADS
