Athene Forster was untouchable. Dubbed the “Last Deb,” she was gorgeous, rich, and could have anything—or anyone—she wanted, including young heir Douglas Fairley-Hulme. Two years into their marriage, however, scandal engulfs the couple after a young salesman catches Athene’s eye, ultimately causing her fall from grace.
Thirty-five years later, Suzanna Peacock is drowning in the shadow of her late mother, Athene. Unhappy in her marriage and desperate for a fresh start, Suzanna opens The Peacock Emporium, an eclectic shop that attracts an eccentric cast of characters. In her new role, Suzanna begins opening up, and even finds a true friend in Alejandro, a male midwife. But despite her efforts, Suzanna is unable to escape the specter of her mother. Through heartbreak and laughter, Suzanna learns that only by confronting the ghosts of her past can she finally begin to live in the present, and discover that the key to her history, and her happiness, may have been in front of her all along.

My husband always says I don't have any patience, just like my mother. And, I can flip the switch from nice to evil within seconds when someone does me wrong.
ReplyDeleteMy mother and I were very much alike. We looked alike. Our personalities were similar. We were both creative.Thank you for this kind offer.
ReplyDeleteMy mother & I were always close, she & I had the patience of a saint. I would always call her every night even after I was married to check on her because she lived by herself. Thanks for this generous chance.
ReplyDeleteI loved the mother and daughter in The Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain. Even though they spent most of their lives apart their love for each other knew no bounds.

My mother and I are avid readers. I, also, learned to love cooking because of my mother. She was a fabulous cook. I haven't cooked as nearly much difficult recipes as she has, but I do love to cook daily. We're both careful about spending money. Cooking meals at home saves more money than eating out. I took lunch to school daily, and I have done the same for my children. I guess being thrifty is a shared quality. Smiling at others and being kind is another shared trait although lately I struggle to be kind to difficult people. We're big fans of PBS programs and love classical music.
ReplyDeleteMy mother and I were both quiet. We both liked to read, do puzzles and kept great records. She was in accounting and I was a math major so I took after her in that respect. We enjoyed each others company. I still miss her after over 10 years now.
ReplyDeleteI am a worrier like my Mother and I love antiques like her.
