Love in Bloom (Paperback)

By Sheila Roberts
$13.95
Usually Ships in 1-5 days

Description


         Hope Walker survived early breast cancer at just thirty-years-old, but a mastectomy left her with a lot of scarring—and some serious fears about dating.  Hope owns Changing Seasons, Heart Lake’s most popular flower shop.  When it comes to love and relationships, she’s able to work magic through her expert flower arranging…for everyone but herself.  Then one day a handsome contractor starts coming into her shop, but Hope knows he’d rather have a whole woman than someone like her.

         When Hope stakes a plot of ground at Heart Lake’s community garden, she finds that a woman can grow all sorts of things there: flowers, herbs, vegetables and even friendship.  As she gets to know the two women who share neighboring plots, they discover that they can learn a lot from each other—not just about gardening, but about life.  And Hope realizes that in order to live life to the fullest, sometimes you have to take a chance on love.

Acclaim for the novels of Sheila Roberts:

 

(Top Pick) “Roberts’ witty and effervescently funny novel will warm hearts.  Realistic characters populate the pages of this captivating story, which is a great escape from the hustle and bustle.” --Romantic Times

 

“Hilarious…a fun and festive debut; for all women’s fiction collections” --Library Journal

 

“A fast, fresh, fun and funny story by a major new talent."   --Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author of Just Breathe

 

“The funny novel is all about love …and friendships.  But, most of all, it's about learning to love yourself before you can love anyone else.” –The Columbus Dispatch

“Roberts manages to avoid genre clichés and crafts a heartfelt novel with nuggets of life truths.” –Binhamton Press & Sun Bulletin

 

“Roberts’ sweetly vengeful dig at do-nothing husbands follows a small-town knitting club of wives who are sick and tired of tiling over elaborate Christmas preparations…By the end of this gently feminist sendup, each side learns to be grateful for the other’s efforts” --Publishers Weekly

 

“Sheila Roberts makes me laugh.  I read her work and come away inspired, hopeful and happy.” --Debbie Macomber, New York Times bestselling author of Christmas Letters

 

“Hands-down, this has to be the best Christmas book I have read. The characters are so meticulously developed, I had to double checke to see if it really was a work of fiction.” –J. Kaye’s Book Blog
