Synopsis "Dandelion Summer "

“A story beautifully told, with richly drawn characters that will...make you want to laugh and cry”* from the New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours. All her life, Epiphany Salerno has been tossed like a dandelion seed on the wind. Now, at sixteen, she must move to the low-rent side of Blue Sky Hill and work where she's not wanted: in an upscale home on The Hill. J. Norman Alvord's daughter has hired a teenager to stay with him in the afternoons. Widowed and suffering from heart trouble, Norman wants to be left alone. But in Epie's presence, Norman discovers a mystery. Deep in his mind lie memories of another house, another life, and a woman who saved him. As summer comes to Blue Sky Hill, two residents from different worlds will journey through a turbulent past, and find that with an unexpected road trip through sleepy Southern towns comes life-changing friendship...and clues to a family secret hidden for a lifetime. Winner of the 2012 Carol Award for Women's Fiction from the American Christian Fiction Writers

Lisa Wingate was born in Germany in 1965, though she grew up in Oklahoma, United States, where she studied English and Communications. After working for a few years as a journalist, she now dedicates herself to giving lectures and writing. She lives in the Ouachita Mountains of southwest Arkansas with her husband and children.

Her passion for writing manifested at a very young age and, thanks to the support of one of her teachers, Wingate continued to bring her stories to life in the hope that one day someone would read them.

In 2001, she published her first book, Tending Roses, which has been followed by more than twenty highly successful novels in the United States. For these, the author has received awards such as the Pat Conroy Southern Book Prize, the Oklahoma Book Award, the Christy Award, and the Carol Award, among many others.
