Ozark Weddings by Janice Thompson & Anita Higman

This delightful three-in-one collection is sure to appeal to lovers of Christian fiction, particularly those who enjoy inspirational romance.




Three Stories in One Great Collection: Ozark Weddings

Larkspur Dreams is a lighthearted, whimsical tale that will appeal to inspirational romance readers, particularly those with artistic leanings. The Love Song reaches into the depths of the reader's soul, dealing with the topic of overcoming past hurts. Castles in the Air provides a humorous look at the way we are perceived by others, and teaches us that our prejudices (comical as they might be) often keep us from the very thing God has planned for us.

All three stories are set in Arkansas: Eureka Springs, Little Rock, and Hot Springs. Larkspur Dreams and Castles in the Air are romantic comedy, while the middle story, The Love Song, is more dramatic in tone
