About: Foodie Blogger Lavender Wills owns and operates Lavender Honey Farms. In order to keep her farm going the way that she has been running it she must will it to someone who shares her ideals, organic, sustainable and non commercial, not one of her commercial driven relatives. Lavender invites three of her closest on-line fellow bloggers to join her at the farm so that she can determine which of the three is most suitable to continue her farm after she is gone.

Ginny from Kansas writes a very successful blog about cakes with beautiful photographs. Ginny is unhappy with her marriage, friends and hometown and longs to venture out into the world.

Ruby, a young pregnant and devoted vegan who is still recovering from a devastating break up.

Valerie a wine connoisseur with a troubled teenage daughter and an awful tragedy and loss in her past.

These four foodie bloggers come together at Lavender Honey Farms trying to find what is missing and lost in their lives. They may just find themselves with a beautiful farm to run.

Review:I could not put this book down and it is also Book of The Month for All About A Book. All of the characters in this story blend together nicely and also stand alone with their own story lines they are also charming and unique. The plot of the book is well written and developed. The organic movement theme is nice and also this book has a little romance too.  Reading this book is like sitting by a fire in a cozy library and having a nice cup of tea or coffee. Here are some of her  other novels you may enjoy: How to Bake a Perfect Life, The Lost Recipe for Happiness, The Secret of Everything and The Garden of Happy Endings.
