"Holy hell!!!! I LOVED THIS!! Seriously, so, so glad I sat down to read this afternoon. Pure gold!" -Laura Kaste Broullire, The Women's Fiction Writers Association

Callie Wind, single mom and owner of a quirky Texas amusement park, dreams of a carousel life, but her dead patriarch is determined to keep her on a chaotic thrill ride. He delights in their spectral arguments from beyond the grave.

Her estranged daughter Sophie-now a televangelist with a knack for pyramid schemes-wriggles her way back into Callie's life with plans to turn the park into a shrine to her own ego. Caught between the old man's ghostly antics and Sophie's snake oil scams, Callie's life is like snow cone syrup on pony droppings.

Meanwhile, Toribio, a sweet immigrant who once delivered Sophie in a pickup truck, has harbored a secret decades-long love for Callie. But letting go of the past isn't easy for Callie, especially when love means risking her heart all over again. Enter Luz, an angelic gardener of happily-ever-after's only Callie can see, sprinkling bubbly wisdom like powdered sugar on a funnel cake while lighting a path to forgiveness.

Get ready for a laugh-out-loud journey through family feuds and magical second chances-where Callie might just discover that happiness is only a paint-chipped carousel ride away.
