At sixty-something years old Angela Dunn has given up on finding much excitement in her life. She's got her half-blind dog, Gizmo, a crummy retail job, a tiny house, and no close friends or family to call on in her Kokomo, Indiana hometown. But when her brother, Tony, calls from Florida with a house-sitting offer, Angela has to gear up all her courage to accept. What about the bugs? The alligators? Her fear of hurricanes? Not knowing what else to do, she sells her few belongings, loads the dog into her Suv, and soon, there she is: living in a cute-as-a-bug house trailer, being romanced by a handsome, gray-haired Italian, making friends with wild women, and trying very hard to let go of the past and find the joy in life once more.

At first I wasn't very impressed, thinking it was going to b e another silly story about a woman "of a certain age". I was wrong. It quickly became an entertaining story with heart, an assortment of likeable characters, and a bit of a moral to the story. A refreshing change to much of today's stories of older women searching for more.
The ending was satisfying and definitely left me wanting more. I hope the next book will be as delightful. For a quick easy read that leaves you with a smile, I recommend this story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun characters and an interesting story
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2014

After finding out her dog is no longer allowed in her home and dissatisfied with her life, Angela decides to take up her brother's offer and she moves into the trailer park where he lives. Immediately she meets many interesting characters living in the trailer park. Is Gil really the trailer park Romeo, her brother says he is, or is there a lot more to him? And Tony doesn't approve of some of the friends she makes. The way he acts makes her wonder why he wanted her to come down there in the first place. Will she let him continue to make her decisions or will she start to stand up for herself?

3.0 out of 5 stars Really wanted to really like this...
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2013
I enjoy the chick lit for us older chicks...Mary Kay Andrews...Haywood Smith...red hat club, etc. this looked like it would be the same genre, and in a way it is. However, Angela is forced...and whines about everything....always expecting the worst, sounding like a teenager a good bit if the time. The other characters are much more believable and enjoyable but it is a bummer when you want to each out and shake the main character and say...get a grip...really? I did finish it, but don't think I will be looking for the next one. Too bad, because these could be fun!

2.0 out of 5 stars The road traveled too far
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2008

While the writing in this book is well done, and the idea of an older character is a commendable and different approach, it would be better if the author of Egret Cove had stuck to writing travel articles and books. Creating fiction is NOT like writing reports and feature stories as many wanna-be novelists find out. The story line is flawed and forced, the characters don't come across as real people, and the facts are distorted--for example, the writer has obviously never been in a real hurricane. While a good writing group is helpful, a good editor can do ever so much more. The writer should think about getting such an editor for her forthcoming Angela books.

4.0 out of 5 stars I didn't ask for this Change..

On one hand, this was a wonderful story of an older woman forced into having a major life change. I loved the characters that she met, however, it is really upsetting how so many authors think that older people have no sense of style, imagination or love of life without class . That said, the author winds up the story in an interesting fashion so I recommend this story for "older" readers. Also, simply written so a simple read.
