Blowing on Dandelions by Miralee Ferrell
Synopsis:
Do Dandelion Wishes Actually Come True?
Katherine Galloway knew this moment of calm wouldn’t last, blown away like the dandelion seeds she scattered as a girl. In 1880, three years after her husband’s death, she struggles to run an Oregon boardinghouse and raise two girls alone. Things don’t get easier when her critical, domineering mother moves in. Katherine must make the situation work, but standing up for herself and her family while honoring her mother isn’t easy. And with a daughter entering the teenage years, the pressure on Katherine becomes close to overwhelming. Then she crosses paths with Micah Jacobs, a widower who could reignite her heart, but she fears a relationship with him might send things over the edge. She must find the strength, wisdom, hope, and faith to remake her life, for everything is about to change.
Thoughts:
Blowing on Dandelions will capture your heart with the very first page and won’t let go until the last page has been turned. Even then, the story will linger and leave you eagerly anticipating the next book in the Love Blossoms in Oregon series.
The characters that come and go through the Oregon boardinghouse each have a unique story. Miralee Ferrell does a wonderful job creating rich characters and vivid descriptions. The emotions she so eloquently portrays will warm your heart and inspire you.
Blowing on Dandelions is a beautiful story of strength, determination, faith, hope, and love!
I highly recommend Blowing on Dandelions and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series, Wishing on Buttercups, which releases in February 2014.

I hope you have a chance to, Linda.
This book is wonderful! IT not only was a pleasure to read, but it allowed me to reflect on how I respond to God in sorrow as well as joy. I would like to share the author’s communication of God intended “courting” with my daughters. THANK YOU, Miralee, for filling my free time with Godly entertainment.
Mary Lou, I’m so happy you enjoyed my book and that it helped you on your life journey. I hope you have a chance to read the sequel releasing Feb. 1st,Wishing on Buttercups. I believe you’ll find just as much enjoyment and learning there.
Blessings, Miralee
I really enjoyed your review! =)
