The Lilac Bouquet:

The Lilac Bouquet by: Carolyn Brown
Fiction: mystery, E-book
E-Book Count:4
Book Count:4

I signed up for a reading challenge for this  year, that has you pick out books based on many different criteria, so I picked this book as a book with a color in the title.  (Although it is named after the flowers that do not always have the same color, in this book they did.)  So given this, I will be reading some books that I might not usually to fit all of the themes of books to check off the list.
  
Having said this, I liked this book.  It was according to the author started out being based on an old country song.  It is the story of a young women that wants to have a big wedding after every generation in her family from her great-grandmother on ended up a single mother who never married.  The only problem is that to do so she needs to work as an assistance to a man that lives alone in his house on the hill (that might be haunted) who her great-grandmother (who raised her) hates.  Her great-grandmother also hates her fiancee's grandfather and the feeling is mutual.   She is determined to find out what happened all those years ago when the 3 were around her age that caused all of these issues.  And as she does she learns the family history of all 3 families and how events of decades ago still haunt the town.
