    Special Review of A Time to Push Daisies plus a Box Set GIVEAWAY!

    October 11, 2018 in my point of view

    A Time to Push Daisies by Marion Ueckermann
    EBOOK AVAILABLE IN THE SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE BLUE BOX SET

    Not every woman is fortunate enough to find her soulmate. Fewer find him twice.
    JoAnn Stanson has loved and lost. Widowed a mere eighteen months ago, JoAnn is less than thrilled when her son arranges a luxury cruise around the British Isles as an early birthday gift. She’s not ready to move on and “meet new people”.
    Caleb Blume has faced death and won. Had it not been for an unexpected Christmas present, he would surely have been pushing up daisies. Not that the silver-haired landscape architect was averse to those little flowers–he just wasn’t ready to become fertilizer himself.
    To celebrate his sixty-fourth birthday and the nearing two-year anniversary since he’d cheated death, Caleb books a cruise and flies to London. He is instantly drawn in a way that’s never happened before to a woman he sees boarding the ship. But this woman who steals Caleb’s heart is far more guarded with her own.
    For JoAnn, so many little things about Caleb remind her of her late husband. It’s like loving the same man twice. Yet different.
    Or is it?


    my point of view:

    Ladies, get your tissues ready, you are going to need them…….in a good way, of course! I was excited to read a  love story for an older generation, and this story does not disappoint! So many romance novels these days are about characters in their 20’s, and don’t get me wrong, I love to read those too, but it is so nice to see that we older folks aren’t too old for love too! I was so enamored with Caleb and JoAnn, I found myself so many times at the edge of my seat unable to read this fast enough to get to the next part of this beautiful love story. This book has a lesson for all of us, from the young to the young at heart, we can all take away a new appreciation for God’s unending love!

    Now, have you ever wanted to go on a European cruise? Visit Ireland, Scotland, London? Walk among the Standing Stones or cross over the Ha’penny bridge and all the other sites there are to see? My feet have never left the good ole’ USA, but I feel as though I have been on the most luxurious trip thanks Marion’s A Time to Push Daisies!  Not only did I get to set sail on an amazing cruise with my own butler, but I had the chance to fall in love…..with both the hero and the heroine in this beautiful story of love found later in life!

    Another fun addition in reading this story of Marion’s – you get a to see some old friends, Caleb is of the Blume family, and JoAnn is a part of two earlier books (A Time to Laugh and A Time to Love, making this the third, any fan will remember:


     

    PLUS – there is a recipe that I promise you will love if you like chocolate! I made them immediately after reading this story, and my hubs loved them!! I plan on making another batch while I get to read these 4 other stories in the box set, if the other stories are half as good as this one, I am really in for a treat this weekend – win / win!!

    Here is more info on the box set and additional stories:

    Marion is so kind as to do an ebook GIVEAWAY of the ENTIRE box set to one lucky commenter on this post! Just let us know what your favorite weekend treat is to enter to win! Contest will be open for 7 days following this post and winner will be notified via email!

      My favorite weekend treat is camping. We are currently camping right now and the weather is perfect. In the 60’s during the day, 50’s at night.
      But if you’re referring to food, I’ve been making caramel apples and my kids love them. We went apple picking a few weeks ago and I’m overloaded with apples so I’ve been trying to find recipes that they all will enjoy. I also made Apple Breakfast Bars and they like those too.

      • AvatarPaula Marie says

        October 13, 2018 at 6:45 am

        Oh my gosh, Daphnee, I adore caramel apples!! I bet yours are awesome!!

        Have fun camping!!

      • AvatarMarion Ueckermann says

        October 21, 2018 at 5:10 am

        Thanks for sharing, Daphnee. Caramel apples sound so tasty. I used to love what we called toffee apples when I was a child. The apples were dunked in either a bright red or green syrup which hardened. I’m wondering if your caramel apples are the same thing?
