In the fading town of Rooster, Texas, all that’s really left is a service station, a church…and the Banty House, a long-ago Depression-era brothel. For more than seventy-five years, Betsy, Connie, and Kate Carson have called their mama’s house a home. The three eccentric sisters get by just fine with their homemade jams and jellies, a little moonshine on the side, and big hearts always open to strangers. Like Ginger Andrews.
An abandoned teen with a baby on the way and nowhere to go, she’s given a room to call her own for as long as she wants. The kind invitation is made all the sweeter when Ginger meets the sisters’ young handyman, Sloan Baker. But with a past as broken as Ginger’s, he’s vowed never to get close to anyone again. As a season of change unfolds, Ginger and Sloan might discover a warm haven to heal in the Banty House, a place to finally belong, where hope and dreams never fade.
Carolyn Brown writes the most amazing stories. Any books of hers that I’ve read always snag me at about the second chapter and then I can’t put it down from there.
The Banty House was no exception. A story of three sisters who live in Rooster, Texas, in the Banty House–a former brothel. Filled with love of all kinds, comfort, food, friendship, and humor; this book was like a little slice of what a town and community should be.
I really cannot recommend this feel-good tale enough. Especially in times where you may need a little pick-me-up.
