"Joan Donaldson's masterful use of lyrical prose takes readers on a journey filled with unexpected surprises. William and Lizzie's journey resonates with readers as they overcome past errors and transition from sorrow to optimism, finding a new opportunity for love." -Suzanne Jenkins, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Pam of Babylon Series Grieving her fiancé's death, Lizzie Walker struggles to find purpose to her life in Rugby, Tennessee, a utopian community in the Appalachian Mountains. But that changes when William, a wealthy flatlander mourning the loss of his sister, arrives. Teaching together in the community's school sparks a budding relationship as they embrace Rugby's classless society and equality for women. However, their peace is short-lived. Lucas, a mountain man, begins harassing Lizzie, who dreads his references to their past, while William fears that exposing his own dark secret will destroy Lizzie's growing respect and love. When disaster strikes Rugby, Lizzie and the local women embrace their talents and restore hope in their future. Readers who love the novel Christy will revel in William's transformation from privileged gentleman to a settler embracing a simple life with Lizzie. Ae Fond Kiss continues the story begun in On Viney's Mountain and celebrates second chances and the importance of community.
Autorenporträt
Joan Donaldson is the author of two other novels set in Historic Rugby, On Viney's Mountain and Hearts of Mercy. The Christian Science Monitor has published her essays, and they air on Michigan Public Radio. Accompanied by her cats, Turnip and Puca, she writes from her yellow house nestled on an organic blueberry farm in Michigan. Every year to honor their deceased son, her husband plants four acres of poppies that draw hundreds of visitors who find comfort, beauty, and peace in the waving red flowers. In her free time, Joan sews quilts, gardens, plays a small harp, and pretends with her grandchildren.
