[jbox color=”brown” title=”Meet Patricia Sands” icon=”https://betteleecrosby.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/DSF0005.jpg” border=”5″ radius=”35″ shadow=”9″]Author Patricia Sands shares a little about herself – family, writing and travel are my passions … okay, and chocolate … and I’m seldom without a camera. Here is a summary of her book The Promise of Provence – June in Provence is full of promise when Katherine arrives from Canada, eager to feel renewed by her surroundings. Endless rows of lavender prepare to burst into pink and purple blooms. Fields of sunflowers flow in golden waves among vineyards and olive groves overlooked by ancient hilltop villages. It’s the postcard setting she envisioned, but is that all she needs? After a year of heartbreak, Katherine has impulsively agreed to a home exchange in the south of France. Colorful locals, a yellow lab named Picasso, and the inspiring beauty of the countryside breathe new life into her days. Seeking to shed the pain of betrayal and loss, she struggles to recapture her joie de vivre and searches for the answer to a haunting question: is it too late to begin again?
