Roses Will Bloom Again

Emma learns the news of her sisters death and as her only family must return to her home town after leaving fifteen long years ago and never looking back. Her painful past resurfaces as she must encounter the only man she has ever loved. Will this only serve to stir up the dust that covers the pain of dreams shattered long ago, or will the cleansing of Emma's past shine new light upon her future and pave a way towards a dream she has never dared give hope? This story was one that I read late into the night and I must say it was refreshing. Although,I loved the story the ending could use a little bit more depth. It has a good closer though. Hope you enjoy the book!

This book is a sweet look at how a tragic separation turned two peoples' lives upside down. Now 15 years later, these two come back together for a second chance. It is a enjoyable read, great for a light afternoon read. The characters are enjoyable and the plot has some interesting turns at the end.

Full of action, one never knows what to expect next. There are several incidents of strange animals/bugs being let loose in the house in an attempt to force them into a sell out.

Lori Copeland's writings are typically light hearted, yet carry a deep message. After reading several serious chapters of this book, I checked the front cover to make sure Lori was the author! It is the story of a young woman, Emma, who believes she has escaped the hurt of her past by running away, making a new life for herself. Fifteen years later, tragedy places her in the center of the pain she sought to deny. Ultimately, the author's typical humor cannot be denied. The addition of humor is equal to the changes in the heart of the characters. An example of this is on page 218, when Sam, the man who jilted Emma long ago, comes for a visit on Christmas morning. It begins with Sam's greeting: "'How's my girl this morning?' 'I'm not your girl.' 'How's my grouch this morning?' She smiled."A great read about hurting and healing from God's love and faithfulness!
