Now, at sixteen, she must move to the low-rent side of Blue Sky Hill and work where she's not wanted: in an upscale home on The Hill. J. Norman Alvord's daughter has hired a teenager to stay with him in the afternoons. Widowed and suffering from heart trouble, Norman wants to be left alone. But in Epie's presence, Norman discovers a mystery- memories of another life and a woman who saved him. As he and Epie take an unexpected road trip through sleepy Southern towns, they form a life-changing friendship-and uncover long-held family secrets.

Long Winded

In the book, Dandelion Summer there is nice interaction between the old man, Norman and Epiphany the young girl that comes to clean and care for him in this own. I find the dynamics of daughter, Deborah to be very realistic with many children being overbearing of their parents and the parents end up resenting the care. I found that the story was not real deep and meaningful beyond my thoughts above. Skip this book for your library if your looking for a deeper message

Excellent

This is an excellent book with a story that gives much food for thought. The thing that I brought away from Dandelion Summer is that there can be usefulness and purpose for those in the winter of life. It also illustrates how different generations can benefit when meaningful and purposeful relationships are developed. Dandelion Summer will stay with you long after you read the last page.

Wonderful book!

This is one of the most enjoyable books I've ever read by Wingate; I was really sad to see it end! I could not tell how it was possibly going to end well!
It took a long time to get to me, tho still w/in the time limit stated by the seller or Amazon.

one sweet summer

There is no doubt. That. Lisa Wingate is a talented author. One thing I alway's enjoy. Is the real life character's. My only complaint is that the novel ended to abruptly and to neatly. Many characters from paast books are in the story. This is a nice sweet read. Keep on writing Mrs. Wingate you are always a favorite..
