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. 
Cautious Grace Singleton, uncertain of her place in an intimidating world. Outspoken Hannah Parrish, harboring a private fear that may change her life. Fragile Amelia Declose, shattered by devastating grief. Circumstance has brought these disparate women of "a certain age" to a Pennsylvania boardinghouse where three square meals and a sagging bed is the most any of them can look forward to. But friendship will take them on a startling journey to a rundown North Carolina farmhouse where the unexpected suddenly seems not only welcome, but delightfully promising. And with nothing more than a bit of adventure in mind, each woman will be surprised to find that the years they've reclaimed from the shadow of twilight will offer something far more rare: confidence, competence, and even another chance at love...

  3. 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
