Riassunto

In this sequel to Turn on No-Bridge Road, Claire Darling, a spunky redheaded mother and grandmother, is struggling with grief over the death of her beloved Nick when she discovers his secret gambling addiction has left her virtually penniless. Shock morphs into panic as she realizes she could lose Woodbine, her ancestral home, the place she has known and loved since childhood. While visiting a home for seniors to console her mother-in-law, Claire has an inspiration. Why couldn’t she build and operate such a place on Woodbine’s forested acres? Soon, convinced this enterprise can save her from bankruptcy, Claire begins a personal crusade to persuade family and friends of the need for such a service in Devon County. Trouble begins, however, when she takes her plea for financial help to Steven Steeples, the wealthy D.C. developer who lives in a small subdivision on what was once part of the Woodbine estate. Can she convince this man she has successfully avoided for twelve years to partner with her? What, she wonders, will he expect in return?

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Suzanne Semsch has been writing for her own enjoyment and professionally for many years. The Lees of Menokin, her first novel, published in 2009, is based on the life and times of Francis Lightfoot Lee, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. She drew on her experiences as the daughter and wife of career Army officers for her second book, The Sound of Caissons, an epic covering five generations of a mid-20th century military family. Although she’s lived in many states and Europe, she and her husband spent 23 years in Virginia’s Northern Neck. Her recollections and love for the region were the inspiration for Turn on No-Bridge Road and the fictional Woodbine Farm. She has just completed a fourth novel, The Widow Darling, a sequel to No-Bridge Road. Suzanne currently lives in Charlottesville, Virginia. She is a mother and a grandmother and the happy owner of two cats. Her books are available, both in paperback and on Kindle, through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Bookbaby and other online booksellers. They may also be purchased directly from the author by contacting her on her website/blog at http://suzannesemsch.com.
