The Unlikely Lavender Queen


Whiny. Resentful. Reluctant. A toddler? No, Jeannie Ralston, "The Unlikely Lavender Queen" I'm sorry, I wanted and tried to like this book. It's set in small town Blanco in the Texas Hill Country. The behind the scenes beginnings of Texas Hill Country lavender. A woman finding herself on a new life journey. But the undercurrent of mocking Texas and complaining along the way didn't do it for me. Sheesh. I had this checked out from the library three weeks just trying to plow through it. Now I'll probably need to use an alias when I place my lavender order. . .
