LAVENDER BLUE
Donna Kauffman

Romance Contemporary

Tragedy has affected their lives years ago and forever. The problem is how to deal with your grief. Do you bury it or do you work through it and come out the other side? Donna Kauffman returns to Blue Hollow Falls for the third time with LAVENDER BLUE. A story of coming through your grief and finding love once again even when you think you're not going to.

Hannah Montgomery and her three friends moved to Blue Hollow Falls to start over after their tragedies. They're taking over an inherited lavender farm and starting a lavender based product business and tearoom. Wilton (Will) McCall is the local stonemason who's working on their chimneys. Hannah and Will are attracted to each other but haven't acted on it because of their pasts. When a chimney collapses and Will protects Hannah the sparks start to fly. Will's son is a great kid and she soon is as involved with the son as the father. When he confides in her about his late wife, she helps him deal with his grief.

LAVENDER BLUE is a sweet, loving story of a life lived after grief and how everyone handles it differently. Two people who never thought to find love again come together like they were always meant to be. They wonder if the grief will stop them from being together. And if you really love someone you can work through your problems to find a solution. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the Blue Hollow Falls series. Who next to find the love of their lives? Return to Blue Hollow Falls, Virginia, and find out.

SUMMARY

When Hannah Montgomery buys a lavender farm in Blue Hollow Falls with three friends, she’s creating a life she never imaginedβ€”one she hopes will honor the memory of the sweet young son she tragically lost years ago. Standing on the porch of the sprawling farmhouse, looking out on row upon row of those lush purple plumes, Hannah is ready to embrace this fresh, new start . . . Then she meets Wilson McCall. The stonemason hired to fix their crumbling chimneys and leaky roof is quieter than most folks in the Falls. Hannah’s not surprised to learn the widower struggles with his own grief. Who could blame her if she finds joy in making Will laugh again, or if she feels a poignant kinship when she sees him with his teenaged son? But her deepening friendship with Will reminds Hannah that there’s a part of her that still needs to healβ€”awakening a tender yearning to have a life that isn’t just good enough, but lived fullyβ€”even if that means taking risks once more . . .
