A Crimson Rose

A Crimson Rose is the third story in the heartwarming women's fiction series, Crimson Grove, about family, second chances, and the unexpected ways in which love can reshape lives.

Amelia Hennipen lives in the small town of Crimson Grove, Virginia, where she has devoted herself to caring for Aunt Henny, the elderly grandmother of her late husband, Simon. Years earlier, Simon abruptly left their marriage, and shortly afterward he died, leaving Amelia with unanswered questions and a life centered on responsibility rather than personal happiness.

Everything changes when eleven-year-old Sybil Rose arrives unexpectedly at Hennipen House. But is the change for the worse or the better?

Amelia's life is already full of responsibilities. Aunt Henny's Alzheimer's won't get better. The house and property need serious attention. And now there's a girl who's grieving and who doesn't want to be at Hennipen House. And what about Nathan Shaw? Is there room in Amelia's life for him and their growing feelings for each other?

A Crimson Rose is a story about discovering that love often arrives in unexpected forms and at unexpected times, and endures in the most unlikely circumstances, and reshapes lives and futures.
