Bed of Roses: A Novel

Coauthored by Caylee Hammack and New York Times–bestselling author Carolyn Brown, this novel follows Sam, who arrives in Homestead, Texas with her dog Nibbler and a broken-down 1965 Mustang after fleeing a broken heart. Jack, who owns the town's only mechanic shop, offers her refuge at his grandmother's bed and breakfast, the Rose Garden, while he repairs her car. Ms. Kathleen, the B&B's owner, proposes that Sam help at her flower shop in exchange for free room and board. As Sam settles into her new surroundings, she begins to feel at home for the first time. Her peace is complicated when Noah, who owns the local bookstore, captures her attention, forcing her to confront her heartache and decide whether to trust again or continue running. With chapters inspired by Hammack's album of the same name, the novel traces Sam's journey from heartbreak to healing, drawing on the stories that shaped Hammack as an artist.
