Spare Change
A woman grieving her loss. A boy running for his life. A town defending them both…
A USA Today Bestseller and the first book in a collection of gritty, small-town family sagas. Reviewers say, “Spare Change is written in the tradition of the finest Southern fiction.”
Small-town gossip never really bothered Olivia Westerly. As a single career woman, she's endured her share. It's easy to ignore the raised eyebrows over her late-in-life marriage to Charlie Doyle. But after he drops dead on their honeymoon, the whispers pour salt on her raw grief. Especially when an orphaned, eleven-year-old-boy shows up on her doorstep, looking for the grandfather he never met.
Behind Ethan Allen Doyle's wary blue eyes lie heavily guarded emotions that unexpectedly tug on Olivia's heart, and she finds herself wanting to win his trust. But when his murderous secret comes looking for him, the entire town embraces this lonely widow and desperate child to show its true heart before danger can threaten one of its own.
A heartwarming tale of love, loss and unexpected gifts, featuring a woman you'd like to call friend, a boy you will ache to hug, and a town you wish you could call home.

Bette’s characters are always so alive! The “good” ones I want to call friends – and the occasional ‘shadier’ ones I want to shun and warn Olivia and all to avoid them!
Bette, your stories are all so heart-warming. They are just the type I want to re-read over and over! And I have almost come to think of some of your characters as friends!
