Once Upon a Wedding

By Kathleen Eagle

Book Overview

How do you feel about weddings? 1. Love them 2. Hate them 3. Terrific as long as I'm not wearing blue taffeta with a bow butt For Camille, her daughter Jordan's announcement that she's getting married brings about a mixture of pure excitement and utter dread. She's thrilled that Jordan has found someone to spend the rest of her life with, but Camille's too young to be the mother of the bride To confuse matters more, Jordan's father, Creed Burke, is back. Camille has never really gotten him out of her system, and while her head tells her that his impetuous ways made their marriage burn out fast, her heart tells her that the passion they found together has never been extinguished. Could Creed truly have changed? Her two best friends are split -- one says "run," the other says "relax " And as the big day approaches Camille has one realization -- that she must follow her heart...wherever it takes her.

It's Different, But I Liked It

This is not a Romance Novel, or even a love story. I figured that out pretty early on. But is is all about love. It's a heartwarming multi-generational story about relationships. Complex female friendships, the often turbulent mother-daughter relationships, and the power of enduring love. As soon as I got over my surprise, I settled into it and loved every page. You gotta give Kathleen Eagle credit, she's no formula writer, Bless her.
