Description
“A story beautifully told, with richly drawn characters that will...make you want to laugh and cry”* from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost Friends and Before We Were Yours.
All her life, Epiphany Salerno has been tossed like a dandelion seed on the wind. 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. Deep in his mind lie memories of another house, another life, and a woman who saved him.
As summer comes to Blue Sky Hill, two residents from different worlds will journey through a turbulent past, and find that with an unexpected road trip through sleepy Southern towns comes life-changing friendship...and clues to a family secret hidden for a lifetime.
Winner of the 2012 Carol Award for Women's Fiction from the American Christian Fiction Writers

Dandelion Summer
5By gertspankFabulous read. I loved every minute of it. Really made me feel like I was each main character throughout the story. Refreshing to see an elderly person and a young teen help each other out. Also really enjoyed how the author related so well how a biracial child feels. Would recommend this to anyone.Lisa Wingate novels
5By Lala KarlaAll of Lisa's books take me on a wonderful journey through others lives. They each have a message/messages that I seem to need at the time. My time spent with the characters in Dandelion Summer was no different. I truly love Lisa's ability to take me away into the tapestry she weaves in each book!Dandelion Summer
