Sinopse

In "Living on a Little," Caroline French Benton masterfully traverses the landscape of simplicity and frugality through evocative prose and insightful anecdotes. The book serves as both a memoir and a practical guide, exploring themes of minimalism and self-sufficiency that resonate with the early 20th-century ethos of conservation and resourcefulness. Benton employs a conversational yet reflective literary style, inviting readers into her world while emphasizing the profound joys discovered in an uncomplicated life—culled from both personal experiences and broader societal observations. Caroline French Benton, an emblematic figure in early American literature, was deeply influenced by the transcendentalist movement, which championed the values of nature, simplicity, and introspection. A multifaceted author, her work often mirrors her own journey toward sustainable living, informed by her upbringing in a resource-conserving household and her keen insights into the social fabric of her time. These experiences shaped her perspectives and provided fertile ground for the ideas presented in this thought-provoking volume. "Living on a Little" is highly recommended for readers seeking inspiration in the realms of sustainability and simplicity. Benton's engaging narrative encourages a re-examination of consumer habits and fosters a deeper appreciation for the abundance found in living with less, making it a compelling read for anyone looking to embrace a more mindful and enriching lifestyle.

    When Zahra Chandler unexpectedly inherits her grandfather's small-town home and bookstore, she jumps at the chance to leave LA. There's just one problem: she also, unknowingly, inherits a long-buried secret that someone would go to any lengths to protect, including murder. The only thing standing between her and a killer is the town's arrogant, but irresistibly sexy sheriff—a man who ignites in her a passion she's never felt. 
     
     
     
    Kendall McKnight takes his job as sheriff seriously and is always prepared for anything . . . except his instant attraction to newcomer Zahra. As they're drawn together in their search for clues, protecting her becomes less about civic duty and much more about carnal desire and he's in danger of losing the one thing he vowed never to risk again—his heart.
