Love in Bloom: A Novel (Heart Lake #2) [9780312384814]

Overview

"At last! An author who writes straight to the heart of every woman...She writes with all the sweetness of Debbie Macomber, the uproarious humor of Jennifer Crusie, and a touching honesty all her own."―Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author

Hope Walker owns Changing Seasons Floral, 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. A painful surgery left Hope scarred and struggling with her confidence. So when a handsome contractor starts coming into her shop, she assumes he'd never be interested in someone like her. Unless maybe there's more to him―and Hope―than meets the eye?

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…in Love in Bloom by Sheila Roberts.

"Gardening, girl talk, and a gorgeous guy underpin this tale of what constitutes beauty and one's true self."―Library Journal
