About your question: Harper, the oldest, is the only one who really wants to save the lodge. Maggie and Scarlet moved away years ago and were all for selling it. By the end of the first book, they have decided to help, though Scarlet only commits to a six months leave of absence from her job. So you think I should put something of this in this blurb, or in the blurb for the first book? Thanks for your help Karen!Jana Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624650840243322617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-19135178130966425932017-08-29T13:31:34.477-04:002017-08-29T13:31:34.477-04:00Hey Jana! You know how much I love to write blurbs...Hey Jana! You know how much I love to write blurbs!!!<br /><br />First off your series sound wonderful!! One little thing about the titles...I actually like Love in the North Woods better, but I understand your reasoning for changing it. <br /><br />A couple of things. I think you should have the name Solace Lake in there somewhere. The first line is a tad awkward. Also, I wanted a hint as to why the sisters choose to restore the inn rather than cut their loses and avoid a very costly rebuild? I'm assuming when they start the process they don't realize there are lies and secrets to be revealed, so that wouldn't be the reason?<br /><br />The Lindquist sisters have inherited their grandfather’s crumbling northern Minnesota fishing lodge. But the pristine beauty of Solace Lake and a decrepit inn aren’t the only things passed down to Harper, Scarlet, and Maggie. In it's depths, the lake holds tragic memories of their parents’ alleged murder/suicide twenty-two years ago. <br /><br />Each of them face a crossroads when presented with plans for a restoration of their beloved grandparents’ legacy. But as the sisters struggle to deal with the failing lodge, old fears and questions rise to the surface. Why did their father murder their mother, and what important truths have been kept from them? Soon the sisters are fighting to keep the past from putting their future, and their fledgling relationships, in jeopardy.
