The ladies of Covington
I'm reading a delightful book today recommended by my friend Jeanette. It's not a new boo (2000) but its the first in a series of books written by Joan Medlicott. The title is The Ladies of Covington send their Love. Sometimes it's nice just to read a soft enchanting book where you can read at a slow and leisurely pace enjoying the adventures of three women of a certain age who inherit a farmhouse near Ashville, NC. It's a great read on a quiet day.

Sounds like a good summer read. I love Ashville, and it will be fun to read about the area...plus you just can't be good friendships among women. Thanks for the recommendation! Cherry Kay
