Planting the seeds of forgiveness might bring the best harvest of all… Sarah Bullard Miller returns to Lilac Lake with her four-year-old twin daughters following the suicide of her husband. She’s always been part of the group of summer kids who play together with the granddaughters of the woman who owned the Lilac Lake Inn, and she loves renewing those friendships. Keeping busy working at her parents’ hardware store and taking care of the girls, she begins the healing process following her husband’s violent death. Aaron Collister was Sarah’s high school boyfriend. They’ve always connected with their sensitivity to nature and poetry, which might have seemed strange unless you knew that big, tough Aaron was part Abenaki Indian and had been given many life lessons by his mother. They renew their friendship, but neither is ready to commit to more until a crisis helps them find the way. This is a spinoff book from the Lilac Lake Inn series, a sweet second-chance, small-town romance. Another of Judith Keim’s books with strong women facing challenges and finding love and happiness along the way.Voir livre

With wit sharper than the Queen's axe and characters as bizarre as your strangest dreams, this is the ultimate escape for the logically exhausted and the wonderfully curious. Step through the looking... no, wait—that's another story. Just follow the White Rabbit.Voir livre
