When her workaholic father passes fifteen years later, TempeÌsta is not surprised that the majority of the considerable family money will pass to her dutiful younger brother, Wal. Still, she is left a modest remembrance from her mother, and for the first time TempeÌsta has a world of choices before her. Lost in grief and hoping to reconnect with her memories and her mother's past, she uses the money to buy a ramshackle manor house in Sainte-Colombe, a small village in Provence, where her mother had grown up. But she is greeted with more questions than answers. Her welcome, especially by the town's stodgy mayor, is cold at best, and she finds herself wondering if the entire experiment was a mistake. Yet she stays, stubbornly sticking it out, slowly learning that her mother's legacy was more than just a nest egg. Through her mother and the village, TempeÌsta learns the value of community and friendship, the importance of self-confidence, and the power of love and trust. What's more, she sees for herself that there is magic and beauty in the everyday--even something as simple as a sprig of lavender and sage"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization in women $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240702033101.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9F929CA2383D11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
