Having read and enjoyed Ms Abbotts books. Was really glad I got the chance to read her last work along with Pol Robinson.
Margaret Winters was brought up by a single mother who likes to move around a lot. Because of this she’d never had what most of us would call a real home. But now she’s where she wants to be, in Seattle Washington working for the city as the Director of Neighborhood Development. And now she’s working on moving a new company into the downtown core. She has an assistant Jeremy, who she thinks is trying to sabotage her work hoping to get a promotion for himself. Her neighbor Mrs Stein had at one time told her how her late husband always gave her flowers every Friday so Margaret takes it upon herself to continue the tradition. Now she’s about to meet her match.
Sara Chandler, like Margaret, has lived all over the world following her parents from one project for the Peace Corps to another. But just a few years ago they finally settled down in Washington buying a small farm house. Sara continued working around the globe helping people set up self sustaining community gardens. And she’s about to make that come true for the people in downtown Seattle so she submitted a proposal for acquiring the land to do just that. Problem is it’s the same location that Margaret wants.
Ms Abbott and Ms Robinson have given us a thoroughly enjoyable read. Both characters are well developed along with a supporting cast that makes for a fast, fun read.
