Loved the main character, Stella. Nora Roberts almost always writes about strong women, and I really like that. This is the first of the "In the Garden" Trilogy. The second book is due out this summer.

Controlled release to fellow BookCrosser Texas Rayn in Aransas Pass, Texas, on Sunday May 8, 2005

Oh, how I enjoy flowers - and "Blue Dahlia" by Nora Roberts was a perfect speciment. This book makes you want to see the blue dahlia for yourself. This story is a touching one of a woman, Stella, (and her two little boys) who has known true heartache by the loss of her husband in a plane accident. You want to "dig" right in and hurry along the planting of love process. The only bad thing about this book is that it's a trilogy and so you have to wait - which is hard - for the new book to be released.
