Description;
Every good love story has another love hiding within it.
Brokenhearted, still mourning the loss of her husband, Heidi travels with Abbott, her troubled eight-year-old son, and Charlotte, her intolerably jaded sixteen-year-old niece, to spend the summer repairing their family home in a small village in the south of France.
The rundown stone house in Provence has been in the family for generations and is the center of a lovely myth. The family tells and retells stories of the magical properties entwined around the old stones - in many different ways, this house has healed broken hearts and made miracles happen.
There, thousands of miles from home, Charlotte makes a shocking confession, and Heidi learns the truth about her mother's 'lost summer' -- a time Heidi and her sister had learned not to ask about many years ago.
As three generations collide with one another, with the neighbor next door, who seems to know all their family secrets, and with an enigmatic Frenchman, they'll journey through love, loss, and healing amid the lavender fields, warm winds, and the delicious pistou soup of Provence.
This is one of those lucky shots that came about from shooting a blood red poppy field. Its just the horizon, with the foregrounds over-bright poppy field removed. That cloud is as it was, where it was, and I just left it hanging pensively in the corner!

Wonderful!! I am adding this to my book suggestion list at www.blissandfolly.com and @blissandbooks. Thank you for the recommendation.
Cool thanks Tammy, I'm still reading mine!:-)
Congratulations Paul! It looks wonderful and I'm going to keep an eye out for it in our shops here.
Thanks Jill, Good luck and happy hunting! :-)
wow! Congratulations! I have a question about your photo; did you have to get the permission from the owner of that farm house in the photo to use it for the book? do you ever get permission when you are taking photos of houses or buildings and using them on your site/blog or whatever?
Each photo is a different case, Getty almost always asks for releases for single shots of houses, though several houses are ok without.
The above picture didnt require a release, as its a fantasy image, the building is not as it is in reality.
This is the trick, I think if the house is altered substantially, with windows removed, doors added, tidied up and recoloured and transported to a differing landscape, so the owner would'nt recognize it, it should be fine!
PS you dont need a release for pictures on blogs etc.
