Rise and Shine, Benedict Stone, Paperback

Descriere

A delightful gem of a novel about family, forgiveness and finding your way, from the author who brought you The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper Moonstone for empathy. Azurite for memories. Lapis lazuli for truth...Benedict Stone has settled into a complacent and predictable routine. Business at his jewelry shop has dried up; his marriage is on the rocks. His life is in desperate need of a jump start--and then a surprise arrives at his door in the form of his audacious teenage niece, Gemma. Reckless and stubborn, she invites herself into Benedict's world and turns his orderly life upside down. But she might just be exactly what he needs to get his life back on track. Filled with colorful characters and irresistible charm, Rise and Shine, Benedict Stone is a luminous reminder of the unbreakable bonds of family, and shows that having someone to embrace life with is always better than standing on your own.``Delightful...Patrick once again imbues objects with magic.`` --Publishers Weekly``Sentimental and cozy feeling...
