by Claire Cook (Author)
#1 Amazon bestseller in Walking!
"I packed my bags and joined the adventures of Noreen, Tess, and Rosie as they traveled to Provence. Fragrant lavender fields, rich chocolate, and van Gogh's artwork came to life, and friendships, stagnant romantic relationships, and quirky family ties are examined in ways that not only made me laugh, but also made me think."-Beth Hoffman For Noreen, Tess, and Rosie, walking the beach together every day has been everything. But after all those steps forward, they're doing some serious backsliding. They've started dodging each other in the neighborhood, and Noreen is spending time working on pints of Ben & Jerry's instead of her romance with Rick, the also-lost boyfriend she met at career counseling. A new adventure might be just what they need. Their destination: Provence, the ultimate lavender trip. It turns into the trip of a lifetime, filled with Van Gogh and vineyards, wine and chocolate, plus lavender and more lavender. Join Noreen, Rosie and Tess as they get back on track!
