Beskrivelse
What would you do if your husband gave you a gift certificate for a facelift for your fifty-ninth birthday?Kate Simmons had always assumed to be spending the golden years of retirement with Bill, her husband of thirty years. That changed after Bill selected a retirement location without even consulting her. They go their separate ways, Bill to Arizona and Kate to Tennessee, each hoping that the other will compromise. In the end, Kate hopes to be sharing the same home with her husband.The cottage Kate rents on Crystal Creek has one drawback. She must participate in the two yearly art festivals put on by the residents who live on the creek. Kate feels like a fraud calling herself an artist among the talented oil painters, woodcarvers, and quilt makers. She doesn't consider her only talent of crocheting as an art. But it doesn't matter if you can't paint, sew, or carve your way out of a paper bag. If you live on the creek, you participate in the festivals. Kate hopes her booth of crocheted infinity scarves won't be mocked by the other artists' or scorned by the festival goers'. As it turns out, the festival becomes the least of her worries. Her husband isn't taking her phone calls and one of her grown daughter's whereabouts are unknown to the entire family. Kate is drawn into a relationship of sorts with a single man on the creek. Nolan is a reclusive man with a questionable background. Her growing attraction for him will threaten her resolve to reunite with her husband.If you liked 'The Cottage on Crystal Creek' you can revisit the artists in 'The Quilt Maker's Widower' and 'Sweet Dreams'.Each book is a standalone story with no cliff hangers.
