Welcome to Pemberton Manor: A place where misfits fit in, where normal is overrated, and where hope - and love - spring eternal. Grace Winters is tall enough to look any man in the eye, and her feet are big enough to wear her brother's shoes. But as commanding a presence as she may be, she's experienced a few too many goodbyes in her life. She also harbors a secret, one that might just be keeping her from embracing her future, from finding her own adventure...the very things she really wants. When she steps into the antique Otis elevator at Pemberton Manor - and on the toes of one mysterious August Jones - she might just discover a brand new way of seeing things. Pemberton Manor is as out of place in Southern California as its residents seem to be. But if home is where the heart is, then this English estate planted amidst orange groves and palm trees, deserts and beaches, and converted into ten charming apartments, is the perfect place to hang a hat. Fall in love with the quirky bunch of characters who call Pemberton Manor home, but be warned. Once you set foot inside these doors, you may never want to leave. Pemberton Manor: The Goodbye Girl is a clean and wholesome short story in a series about family life, sweet romance, first love, and second chances. If you enjoyed Becky Doughty's Elderberry Croft Collection, you'll feel right at home with the folks at Pemberton Manor
