Firefly Landing
About
A heartwarming small-town romance novella full of humor, family, and second chances.
Joey Finch’s life has fallen apart. Her fiancé just broke off their engagement, and her beloved Boston coffee shop closed after struggling through COVID. Out of options, she heads back home to Prairie Creek, a charming Midwestern town she once couldn’t wait to leave. But there’s one problem—no one knows why she’s back. In the midst of financial struggles, a strained relationship with her father, and small-town gossip, Joey has to figure out her next move.
Between baking in the farmhouse kitchen, reconnecting with her childhood best friend Jessie, and dealing with a grumpy rooster named Carl, she starts to fall in love with the small-town life she once left behind. Then there’s Matt, her high school sweetheart, who never stopped thinking about her.
When a big job opportunity and a surprising newspaper ad land in her lap, Joey faces a choice: rebuild the life she worked so hard for in Boston, or stay and replant her roots in Prairie Creek.
Praise for this book
It made me giggle, it brought tears to my eyes. I could relate to many things in this well-written novella. I’m anxious to read book # 2!
Finished in one night couldn’t stop reading it… can’t wait for the second one!
“Firefly Landing is a beautifully written Novella (first in a trilogy) by Lauren Noard following Joey Finch and her small midwestern hometown, Prairie Creek. Joey had left her hometown after school to chase her dreams in Boston, but after a broken off engagement, and closure of her coffee shop she’s returning home. Over the course of her visit home, she must navigate strained relationships, fend off the town gossips and figure out what her future entails.”
While I’m not normally a Novella reader (guilty), this book captivated me and I completed it in one sitting. This book was beautifully written and is truly just the beginning of Joey’s journey.
The small town vibes were oozing from this Novella - country roads, corn fields, Casey’s, Ranch loving, “Worlds Greatest Fair”, etc. While I may be slightly biased, Prairie Creek sure does sound like home ❤️
Highly Recommend for a someone looking for a quick and easy read, small town vibes, hallmark vibes book!
