Book Reviews of The Ladies of Covington Send Their Love: A Novel

Book Review: Three great ladies seeking a brand new start in life-A+++!
Summary: 5 Stars

This book begins with 3 ladies that live together in Olive Pruitt's stuffy retirement home. When the book opens, Grace Singleton is trying to find out where any of Amelia DeClose's relatives might be as Amelia is in the hospital having some surgery done, but is recovering very fast. Amelia receives a parcel from her long lost cousin, Arthur Furrior who had passed away, willing her his property on the farm. It includes several acres of land, and a rundown farmhouse. But he also includes the sum of $50,000 to fix up the property.

Daring to seek adventure away from Branston PA., the three ladies head for Covington North Carolina to have a look at the farmhouse. They do find it needs almost a complete renovation, but little by little have it all fixed up like new. They love Covington at first sight, and talk about staying there forever. It takes awhile to convince Grace. She does not like changes in life as she used to always stick with her husband until he died in the same old rut. But gradually, she gives in to moving with Hannah and Amelia, and the three settle in for many new adventures.

This changes Grace for the better as she reaches out to new adventures and meets a new love in her life. The fragile Amelia, who had a lot of tragedy in her life that made her the way she is, discovers photography and this is her new love. And Hannah, who needs a hip replacement, has surgery, recovers nicely, and starts a greenhouse selling the plants she's always had a love for. Hannah has two girls, and in the past an abusive husband that made her fearful of life.

Grace's only son Roger is gay, and his partner Charles has HIV. Grace is devastated when she finds this out. Roger and his partner begin a new business and live life to the fullest even though Charles is sick.

A threat comes along from some other people that claim to have ownership to the farmhouse. The ladies then have another problem and have to seek an attorney's help to be able to hold on to the property that really is theirs.

Summary of The Ladies of Covington Send Their Love: A Novel

Cautious Grace Singleton, uncertain of her place in an intimidating world. Outspoken Hannah Parrish, harboring private fear that may change her life. Fragile Ameila Declose, shattered by devastating grief. Circumstance has brought these disparate women of "a certain age" to a Pennsylvania boardinghouse where three square meals and a sagging bed is the most any of them can look forward to. But friendship will take them on a starting journey to a rundown North Carolina farmhouse where the unexpected suddenly seems not only welcome, but delightfully promising. And with nothing more than a bit of adventure in mind, each woman will be surprised to find that they years they've reclaimed from the shadow of twilight will offer something far more rare: confidence, competence, and even another chance at love...
