“Bobby’s Diner” is a story of a woman trying to find herself in a town where nobody wants her. Georgette Carlisle is 25 when she saunters into the rustic town of Sunnydale, Arizona, and snags Bobby, away from his wife, Vanessa Carlisle. The story begins 15 years later, after he dies and leaves his restaurant, “Bobby’s Diner,” to both women. Bobby’s Diner is situated on an attractive highway corridor property that’s slated to be the next boutique tourist site. It sits right in the middle of Zach Pinzer’s future with a large developer. After Zach arranges to destroy their property and fatally wounds a beloved employee, he nearly kills Vanessa’s daughter. Georgette and Vanessa continue to fight as they hold fast to the only thing they have: each other. Georgette’s story is a tale of life, love, death, grief, pain, loneliness, and redemption. And, she finds her true family with the most unexpected people.
