Great characters and beautiful story!
Rating:
5 / 5
This was the second of Lawana Blackwell's books that I read, giving me a glimpse of how consistently good she is. Since then, I have read everything she has written (I just bought Table by the Window) and can't get enough of them. The Widow of Larkspur Inn was especially endearing because of the people Blackwell incorporated into the story. Gresham is a place where I think all of us would like to live, surrounded by loving (and sometimes quirky) people who enrich lives with their humor and spirit. I believe that some of the Blackwell's strongest characters reside in Gresham; people who are unique and carry the story all the way to the last page. Just realize that you may want to order the next two books in the series before you finish this one...that way you can move right on into the next part of the Gresham Chronicles.
What a fantastic book!

This book was really wonderful. The main character, Julia Hollis had so much strength, faith, hope and love. Julia was married to Phillip, who had hidden his love of gambling. She was forced out of her home when Phillip died because of his gambling debts. She moves her family (3 children and her maid/friend) to Gresham to the Larkspur Inn. The Larkspur Inn was the only property of her husbands that the Bank didn't want. She returns the Larkspur Inn back into the beautiful Inn it was in its glory days. Lawanna Blackwell makes you feel as if you are there in Gresham and all the tenants and the owner and her family are your friends! She meets the vicar, Andrew Phelps, whom she forms a friendship with. I can't tell you what happens with the rest of their lives, because it would spoil the book. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book and enjoy! I loved this book so much, I just ordered the other two in this series!!
Lawana Blackwell.......what a great writer.

I picked up "The Widow of Larkspur Inn" at a used book store because I could not find the books I was looking for. Had never heard of Lawana Blackwell and this was the only one of her books there. I did not read it right away, but once I started it I didn't want to quit. She is one of the best writers I have read. She is quite unique......has such wonderful true to life characters. It is hard for me to believe I had not heard of her or read her books before now and now have a list of all her books...obtained from Amazon.com.....and can hardly wait to read them all.
