Finding Home in Paradise: Begins With A Haunted Hotel, A Plastic Garden & A Great Chef - Paperback

FINDING HOME IN PARADISE

Finding Home in Paradise is a story of what happens when the desires of a young woman, a chef, a mystery writer, a glamorous hotel guest, and others, collide. Events unfold as perceived by three of the characters, Skye-Girl who unwittingly creates trouble for the entire community, the chef who attempts to manage the failing hotel, and the mystery writer who visits yearly to connect with a ghost. The story contains humor, irony and heartfelt connections between people navigating challenges of living on the edge.

A runaway, who calls herself Skye-Girl and claims to be 21, finds herself stranded on the highway. Her life takes a twist when she lands a job at a haunted hotel in Santa Barbara, California during summer, the time of year when the most fortunate dogs wear shoes. Guests may pick rooms, except for rooms 208 and 210, with a view of the infamous plastic garden. The meals are incredible and the décor, dreadful. If guests are lucky, they may catch a glimpse of Whack, the German Shephard, bounding through the hotel hallways.
