Lily of the Valley cover

Lily Wilk always knew she was destined to be an artist, ever since she pulled a drawing kit from a grab bag on her tenth birthday. Now Lily's work is always in demand around her small Massachusetts town, where she makes her living painting everything from fire hydrants to 'Gulls' and 'Buoys' signs on the bathroom doors at the local seafood restaurant. But when supermarket heiress Mary Ziemba commissions her to paint a family portrait, Lily senses that her lifelong dream of creating a memorable masterpiece is finally within her grasp. What she discovers however, is that dreams often take unexpected twists...and with each small and gentle brush stroke she applies to Mary Ziemba's painting, Lily learns more than she ever imagined about the meaning of friendship, family and love.

Ann Hood author of Ruby It is a gift to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary, to reveal the lives we see unfolding every day, and add a charm and warmth to them that those of us who move around them sometimes forget to notice. But this is what Suzanne Strempek Shea does for her readers.
