A WEDDING ON BLUEBIRD WAY is reminiscent of a gorgeous
patchwork quilt done with style, grace and love. A WEDDING
ON BLUEBIRD WAY joins four talented authors and charges
them with the task of taking the story of a run-away bride
and constructing four separate tales incorporating
characters involved in the wedding that never happened. And
so true to type, these four writers put pen to paper and
came up with linked scenes that introduced unforgettable
characters. Each story is a gem and from start to finish
you quickly realize that you are in for a treat.
Weddings are so glamorous and sentimental but there are
times when happily ever after and until death do us part is
not the expected end of the ceremony.
It all starts with The Wedding That Wasn't that kind of
chronicles Felicity Patterson's life that had been less
than gracious you might say -- or as Lori Wilde puts it --
hell in a wicker handbasket. Humor is Lori Wilde's best
tool and in this novella it starts off A WEDDING ON
BLUEBIRD WAY with a bang. Felicity is perhaps the most
upbeat person you could ever meet. The Bluebird Inn
business as a wedding venue was just starting to show great
promise. The gardens at the inn were truly magnificent --
only thing missing were bluebirds but they have been gone
for several years. Aunt Molly let the cat out of the bag
when she cautioned Felicity about that an old midwife
curse. It couldn't be that she had actually been jinxed her
whole life. But it certainly would explain how things just
seem to happen to her and those she loved. Well only if you
believe in that stuff.
The wedding of Savannah Loving and Chance Worthington were
going to be the first step stone to the success of
Felicity's wedding business. But the Loving-Worthington
wedding never happened. Savannah's uncle Tom -- kind of the
lost black sheep of the family -- had jokingly offered his
bike if she changed her mind. And well you guessed it. Now
everyone is angry and Tom is receiving the brunt of that
anger. But somehow this unexpected visit to Serendipity has
Tom looking happier than ever. Could that be because of the
lovely soft hearted gorgeous owner of the Bluebird Inn.
Tom and Felicity decide to join forces and see if they can
entice bluebirds back to Serendipity. Felicity saw it as a way
to hopefully end that stupid curse. Tom saw it as a way to
delay his inevitable departure from Serendipity and Felicity.
Suffice it to say the three delightful novellas
follow the antics of both Felicity and Tom and Savannah and
Chance as well as other members of this engaging cast of
characters. Love is definitely in the air. Hopefully the
bluebirds will return to Serendipity and along with them a
final end to that nasty curse.
