Since Hallie's father died and left behind ten children, money at
the Palmer household is tighter than ever. And just when Hallie
thought she was graduating from college, it turns out she's four
credits short. A professor needs one more student for a project
that will take her around the world, only longtime boyfriend Craig
has another proposition for Hallie.
Thus begins Hallie's great odyssey, for the first time she
ventures outside the safety of Cosgrove County and the sixty-mile
radius in which she's functioned for her entire life. But somehow,
escaping home doesn't translate into leaving behind all of her
problems, and, unfortunately, not all can be solved by putting her
superior gambling skills to work.
Eventually, it's time to return home to all the good people who
are great at driving each other crazy. Hallie must finally face the
biggest decision of her life.
Humorous and heartfelt, Best Bet underscores the importance of
friends, family, and a sense of belonging. The characters in this
modest, but neighborly, small town prove that an ordinary existence
made up of small but genuine moments can satisfy a soul that's
hungry for life in all of its glories and disappointments.
