Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Kristin Hannah, Beth
Hoffman, and Kate Jacobs, this luminous novel from the
author of Friendship Bread follows a group of
fascinating women who form deep friendships through their
love of scrapbooking—as memories are preserved, dreams are
shared, and surprising truths are revealed.
Welcome
to Avalon, Illinois, Pop. 4,243
At
Madeline’s Tea Salon, the cozy hub of the Avalon community,
local residents scrapbook their memories and make new ones.
But across town, other Avalonians are struggling to free
themselves of the past: Isabel Kidd is fixing up her
ramshackle house while sorting through the complications of
her late husband’s affair. Ava Catalina is mourning the love
of her life and helping her young son grow up without his
father. Local plumber Yvonne Tate is smart, beautiful, and
new to Avalon, but finds that despite a decade of living
life on her own terms, the past has a way of catching up—no
matter where she goes. And Frances Latham, mother to a
boisterous brood of boys, eagerly anticipates the arrival of
a little girl from China—unprepared for the emotional roller
coaster of foreign adoption.
Enter Bettie
Shelton, the irascible founder of the Avalon Ladies
Scrapbooking Society. Under Bettie’s guidance, even the most
reluctant of Avalon’s residents come to terms with their
past and make bold decisions about their future. But when
the group receives unexpected news about their steadfast
leader, they must pull together to create something truly
memorable.
By turns humorous, wise, and
deeply moving, The Avalon Ladies Scrapbooking Society
is a luminous reminder that the things we hold most dear
will last a lifetime.
