Bøker av Celia Bonaduce

House enough to hold her dreams . . . Aspiring engineer Molly McGinnis is one master's thesis away from conquering the universe. But in the meantime, she's struggling to make ends meet, working at a tree farm while stowing away in a Tiny House on builder Bale Barrett's property. Of course, she only plans to hide out until the weather improves, or until she finishes her own Tiny House project . . . But when Bale discovers her, rather than send the hapless designer packing, he offers her a place to stay and solid advice, on her thesis-and her life. Just as Molly feels like she's getting back on her feet, things start to fall apart, like her project, and her romantic illusions about her outrageously good-looking boss, Quinn. It's enough to make a girl wonder if by focusing on the trees, she's missing the forest . . .

It's not the size of the house . . . At twenty-two, Vivien is already a homeowner-albeit of the tiniest of tiny houses, a whopping 64 square footer called "Shrimpfork." It's the perfectly portable home from which to run Organization Oracle, Vivien's new business as a personal organizer. In fact, she'll be toting Shrimpfork to her upcoming client's home near Taos, New Mexico. Seventy-year-old Priscilla has a colorful past, a rambunctious boxer named Clay-and a home crammed with treasures. . . . Priscilla also has a love for the TV program "This Old Thing?" Her twenty-five-year-old neighbor, Marco, is happy to watch it with her-while watching over her. When Vivien arrives, it's clear she and Marco are suspicious of each other's intentions. But Priscilla's determination to get her most cherished possession appraised on "This Old Thing?" soon has all of them grudgingly working together. Vivien and Marco find themselves in cahoots, Priscilla discovers the wider world, Clay digs up trouble-and everyone learns that sometimes the greatest treasures are valued for their flaws . . .

For champion professional knitter Dymphna Pearl, inheriting part of a sun-blasted ghost town in the Texas hill country isn't just unexpected, it's a little daunting. To earn a cash bequest that could change her life, she'll have to leave California to live in tiny, run-down Fat Chance for six months with seven strangers. Impossible! Or is it? Trading her sandals for cowboy boots, Dymphna dives into her new life with equal parts anxiety and excitement. After all, she's never felt quite at home in Santa Monica anyway.
