The Montgomery brothers have been the talk of Boonsboro, ever since they decided to renovate the old Inn into an intimate and handsome new Bed and Breakfast. Beckett and Owen have both found love in the process, but what of Ryder, the third Montgomery brother? Can the Inn Boonsboro weave its magic one more time?

U svojim iznimno otvorenim i iskrenim memoarima Moja priča Michelle Obama poziva čitatelje u svoj svijet, govoreći o iskustvima koja su je oblikovala: od djetinjstva u South Sideu u Chicagu, do godina kada je radila kao menadžerica noseći se sa zahtjevima i majčinstva i posla, sve do vremena provedenog u Bijeloj kući i povratka u život privatne građanke. Uloga prve dame izložena je javnosti, ali počesto i podcijenjena, ali Michelle Obama se potrudila da to iskoristi za svoje projekte kojima se obraćala ljudima izravno, toplo i učinkovito. U knjizi piše o luksuznom životu u Bijeloj kući koji nije bez žrtve, kao i odnosima sa svojim prijateljima i obitelji koji su je, i još je oblikuju na njezinom impresivnom putu.
