Larkspur Wendell enjoys life and interacting with the people around her.   Everett Holden prefers quiet, solitude and immersing himself in his work.  When the two become neighbors, Lark is determined to draw the hermit-like Everett out of his shell.  Lark’s vibrant personality and never faltering faith clashes with the wall Everett has built around himself following tragic events in the past.  In the end, opposites attract and readers will delight in the funny moments that occur as Larkspur and Everett realize the attraction they have for each other.

“Larkspur Dreams” is lighthearted, easy-to-read and will lift any mood.  You can’t read this book and not feel better. In Larkspur, readers will find the type of person they strive to be and in Everett, a prince disguised as a toad.  This love story is charming, filled with mishaps that make you laugh. I only wish the book was longer.  After a stress-filled day, I looked forward to relaxing and allowing the cheerful and sunny feel of the writing sweep away my cares.  You will, too.
