A charming small town that's home to a quirky assortment of characters—and one very special fox—is the setting for this uplifting story of second chances and new beginnings from beloved author Melinda Metz.
The town of Fox Crossing, Maine, has something special—a legendary fox with a knack for bringing fortune, love, and happiness to anyone lucky enough to see it. . . .
THESE TOWNSFOLK MAY THINK THEY'RE PRETTY SMART
Victoria Michaud has lived in Fox Crossing her entire life without encountering the fabled fox. And then, on the day of her thirtieth birthday, she spots a beautiful, golden-eyed vixen . . . right before she also recognizes Bowen Gower, the guy who made her high school years hell. So much for good luck. Victoria already has enough to deal with, between running her Junk & Disorderly antique store and refereeing her divorced, still-bickering parents.
BUT IT TAKES A SLY FOX TO SHOW THEM THE WAY
There are a lot of things Bowen doesn't remember about growing up in this town on the Appalachian trail, and some he's chosen to forget. Back to settle his grandfather's estate, Bowen soon realizes it won't be easy to make amends to those he wronged. But he's eager to convince Victoria to give him another chance.
It'll take some doing—and perhaps more luck than one fox sighting can provide. Then again, sometimes one look is all you need . . .
