Lisa Wingate

Dear Readers, 
Larkspur Cove by Lisa Wingate is a story with many different threads to it.  Andrea has moved back "home" again to recover from a divorce and needs to start over.  She is dealing with a new job, a teenage son who has quite the attitude about... well everything that has to do with mom, and parents that want to help but seem a bit overbearing.  Larkspur Cove, Lisa Wingate, 978-0-7642-0821-8
Mart, short for Martin, has returned to a place of many wonderful childhood memories.  He remembers the time he spent there while his father worked in the area with great fondness.  He needs time to recover from his own tragedy. 
Len is a Vietnam war vet.  He was wounded in battle and sent home to recover.  He reclusive and is never happy to see visitors.  He doesn't really hurt anyone, but he is not overly friendly either. 
So when a little girl is spotted across the lake with Len everyone is curious as to who and why he would have a little girl living with him.  He doesn't have any local family that anyone has ever heard of or seen, so who is this little girl?  Is there something horrible going on?  The rumors start to fly.
This is a story of recovery, trust and community.  How it does sometimes take a village to raise a child.  How sometimes while helping others we find ourselves able to heal from our own wounds. 
Happy Reading.
