THE UNLIKELY LAVENDER QUEEN

Hey Y'all (just trying to set the mood),

Here is the link to a book review I just did for Story Circle Network. The book is by Jeannie Ralston, who was responsible for turning Blanco into the lavender capitol of Texas. What most people don't realize is that she was a successful writer in New York when she met her National Geographic photographer husband, and that he had to drag her kicking and screaming to Texas. The book should be available in stores by the end of this month. Check it out.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jeannie's memoir. It brought back memories of growing up in Texas, and her struggles were especially near and dear to my heart since I also work at a lavender farm!
