Here's the back cover copy:
Trudie Abernathy is a little inelegant, and she's never had much luck in love. To make matters worse, her thirtieth birthday is fast approaching and her sister, Lane, has decided to treat her to a makeover and a few blind dates. Trudie is about to protest, but then she meets the kind and handsome Mason Williamson. In spite of her humble manner, Mason finds her attractive, funny and smart. But Lane inexplicably pushes Trudie away from Mason and toward the other willing suitors. The makeover has transformed Trudie from ordinary into stunning, but she isn't sure how she feels about all the attention from men. Can Trudie stay true to her humble self and find her heart's desire in the process?
Here are some Q&A's with Anita:
About 25 years. It's been a long journey, but a good one.
~ You've written romances and mysteries. What other genres have you explored? What is your favorite?
I've written books of one-act plays, books for kids,
Well, it looks like I will be fortunate enough to write for Summerside Press again. They are a great publisher.
Well, the creative process is a mystery to me. Characters like Wiley and Kat and Cyrus start showing up in my head and talking. Sometimes I’m not sure where they come from. As far as plot for Love Finds You in Humble,

And now for my review:
Anita's Summerside offering is one of my favorites to date. Her characters were charming, believable and relatable. This story involves a bit of a love triangle which compelled me to keep reading, that and the way Anita unfolded the romance. I was hooked immediately and eagerly committed to finish this book quickly. I loved how Anita portrayed humility, contrasting it with low self-esteem. There's a difference (humility recognizes one's value but sees him/herself as the same as others; low self-esteem belittles self, failing to recognize one's true value, masquerading as humility). Her heroine, Trudie, experienced both aspects, oftentimes mistaking the truth for a lie. I believe many women will relate with this challenge. That and Trudie blamed herself for a past mistake which she didn't quite interpret accurately. I believe many readers will relate with that as well. Forgiving herself was key to her freedom. That will resonate. I'm excited Anita will write for Summerside again! Congratulations to her and I look forward to reading her next book.
