Greetings from Lavender Valley: a wonderful new series!

Greetings from Lavender Valley by Tammy L Grace is the first book in the new Sisters of the Heart series. Jewel Austin has been a foster mother to dozens of children; but five girls hold an extra special place in her heart. Through the years, she kept in touch with these girls as they grew into women and found their place in the world. Now in her eighties, Jewel knows her time is short and she has an unusual request. Her last wish is for them to return to the Lavender Valley Farm and find the sanctuary they once had there. Jewel has a feeling these women will need each other as they navigate life’s difficulties and the loss of the only parental figure they have known. 

Told through Jewel’s letters and journal entries, readers learn about the five little girls who grew into women under her care. From different circumstances and hurts, they came to Jewel’s farm and found a mother’s love. While it was not the story I was expecting; however, it was Jewel’s unconditional love and devotion to these women through their lives as they came to her home, stayed and then went out into the world, that pulled me in. I am looking forward to reading the rest of their series and seeing how these five women respond to Jewel’s final request. I recommend Greetings from Lavender Valley. 

Greetings from Lavender Valley is available in paperback and eBook
