The Aunt Whisperer

Casa Flanigan Book Two

An angry guest. An aging aunt. And a dancer who can’t reach either of them.

After his girlfriend betrays him and steals his job, Carl Welles’s family drops him at Casa Flanigan, a friend’s farm, to regroup and heal. Unfortunately, he doesn’t want to be there, and he lets everyone know it. But anger only goes so far, and eventually he finds himself drawn to people on the farm, including the lovely dance instructor.

Carmen Soza gave up her pro dancing dreams to teach at Casa Flanigan’s dance studio while caring for her aging aunt. Then Carl Welles arrives at the farm, an angry, broken man who connects with her elderly aunt at a level Carmen envies. As he helps with her aunt, she begins to see through his veneer to the kind, lost man beneath.

Unfortunately, Carl has the infuriating habit of caring for everyone and refusing to let anyone return the favor. God may have to pull out a little drama to remind him that love includes letting people in.

The Aunt Whisperer is book two of Casa Flanigan, the contemporary Christian romance series about a farm where lost souls find their way.

Jill's Notes

  • Carl first shows up in Girls Aglow’s Drifting Home.
  • I had no intention of bringing Carl into further stories, but once he showed up here, he kept showing in later books. I like the guy. His two siblings have their own books, too, one in Girls Aglow, and the other later in Casa Flanigan. 
  • I took ballet from age 4-14, so I had fun with Carmen the dance teacher. She’s a conglomeration of every dance teacher I ever had.
  • A senior in this book takes his life. I learned, sadly, that suicide among the elderly is common, and yet it’s not grieved by our society. People, love on your seniors!!
  • This book is in Kindle Unlimited.
