Books in the Calendar series

The second book in the Calendar series by Jackie Clark introduces us to Brooke, a free-spirit who hates the thought of being tied down to city life. On a whim, she buys a run-down old cafe in the middle of nowhere, Australia. Will she adapt to life in a remote small town? And will her desire for adventure, and more importantly, home, be fulfilled?

This debut novel from Jackie Clark celebrates life in small-town Australia. Join her characters as they find their way in this lighthearted, Australian tale of forgiveness, love, loss, and learning that time is a gift and there is never enough of it.

Mama is gone and ten-year-old July has been sent to live in Plevna with grandparents she has never met. She is the new girl in school, and Priscilla, the classroom "princess," makes adjusting difficult. "God tells us to turn the other cheek," Gramps says. But for July these words of wisdom seem like climbing a mountain too tall for her.
