Life in Rhinestone is never straightforward, and in Round Trip, our characters take readers on a journey that’s as full of surprises as it is of heart. In Round Trip, the trio of friends we have come to know and love experience the Big Apple in real time. It’s a story filled with laughter, unexpected lessons, and the reminder that home is more than a place; it’s the people who make it feel like family.
Writing Round Trip was an opportunity to honor a city I have loved since I was a little girl: New York City. I loved exploring how the characters grow while still holding onto the quirks and charm that make them uniquely Rhinestonians as they experience the charming aspects of somewhere unknown.
For anyone who’s ever longed for a place where every street corner holds a memory and every neighbor has a story, Round Trip is your invitation to laugh, cry, and fall in love all over again with Magnolia Manor and NYC alike.
