Lilacs in Bloom (Paperback)

This is the story of a forty-something woman reflecting on a year, day by day. It is her second year in the country, during which she develops friendships and relationships within the community. She joins organizations and volunteers, and begins to understand the magic and endless work involved in keeping her home afloat. All the while, her dogs create constant chaos, giving her ample opportunity to laugh, and cry, heartily. Her perceptions in the moment make her look backward, and inward, to everything that brought her to her present life. Through examining the choices and incidences that shaped her past and led her home, she gains insight and confidence, and ultimately, great happiness in how it all turned out.
