Synopsis

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Sweet Farm is the stage on which our players play. It is a Carmel Valley, California Lavender Farm of some local reknown. It is also the home of a revolving cast of characters all somehow related to the Wyman clan: farmers, artists, writers, musicians. They bond and clash in unusual ways as they create their lives one breath at a time.

The women are restless. The men are nervous. The girls are growing up in the 60s and they and their peers will become known as Baby Boomers, Flower Children, Hippies, Yuppies, the ME generation; they will be affected by the Vietnam War, Rock & Roll, revolutions from sexual to political, and dramatic social change. But, mostly, they deal with their loves, children and homes as they relate to and are touched by those issues described above.

Deke Interrupted, Book Two in The Lavandula Series, begins with Stevie mapping her first sexual encounter and Jolene working out some guilt, while Tate and her mother get a big surprise.

There’s more, of course. There’s always more…
