Tuesdays are the days when you and I connect here. Some posts are funny … some insightful. Today’s going to be different.
I’m up to my chin in edits for the upcoming and final Ladies of the Fire novel, Ladies on a Mission. So come back next week. It’s my goal to be ready for blogging again.
Tuesdays are the days when you and I connect here. Some posts are funny … some insightful. Today’s going to be different.
I don’t want to rush this. These three friends, Lily-Rose, Fiona, and Sugar, are due the extra efforts. And their time in Eastern Kentucky is the best yet.
Full lives aren���t necessarily lives fulfilled
In Ladies on a Mission, years have passed and it���s 1984. Sugar Bowersox and her family recently moved to Trotter, Kentucky, where Dungar could take the head coach of the brand new Trotter College. They were both thrilled to return to their rootsk. Sugar thought once in Trotter, life would be smooth sailing. But those thoughts ended when a star football player is found in the weight room ��� stabbed in the chest and holding onto his life by a hair. Dungar���s a mess. Their daughters are struggling as they try to find their way in their new lives. And Gran is feistier than ever. When Sugar calls Lily-Rose and shares the upheavals to their lives, she ached for her friendship with Lily-Rose and Fiona. ���Lily-Rose, I don���t know where to start. All I know is I need you and Weeds. I sure could use a fire.���
Can a woman on the run find herself again?
Ladies of the Fire
��brought us to the late 1960s as we met the newly-widowed Lily-Rose Pembrick reeling as she fled Lincoln, Nebraska, with her children. Only taking the cash from the house safe and what she could get her hands on at the family bank, she left the recently-inherited and successful Pembrick Transportation company behind.��Exhausted from driving all night, she stopped in Applegate, Ohio, and decided to start a new life on Norwood Street. There, she met Fiona Kasey, an African-American no-nonsense housekeeper/companion to an elderly white woman, and Sugar Bowersox, a Southern spitfire who has lost herself in motherhood.
Together, they enjoyed Lily-Rose���s backyard fire pit, where dreams were spoken and secrets revealed. As they embraced a kinship they never would have sought, Lily-Rose began thinking her past could finally be laid to rest���until someone ended up dead.
