Everyone has their secrets and Tayte, Agnes, and Noah are no
exception. In Agnes’s home, though, those secrets—or dragons—might just tear
them all apart. Part of the Kindle Scout competition, The Dragons of Alsace Farm, was hot and trending for four weeks
before its launch. Find out why during this blog tour!
About the Book
In need of his own redemption, Noah Carter finally confronts
his childhood hero, the once-beloved uncle who betrayed him. Instead of
vengeance, he offers forgiveness, also granting Uncle John a most curious
request—for Noah to work on the ramshackle farm of Agnes Deveraux Keller, a
French WWII survivor with dementia.
Despite all Agnes has lost, she still has much to teach Noah. But the pair’s unique friendship is threatened when Tayte, Agnes’s estranged granddaughter, arrives to claim a woman whose circumstances and abilities are far different from those of the grandmother she once knew.
Items hidden in Agnes’s attic raise painful questions about Tayte’s dead parents, steeling Tayte’s determination to save Agnes, even if it requires her to betray the very woman she came to save, and the secret her proud grandmother has guarded for seventy years.
The issue strains the fragile trust between Tayte and Noah, who now realizes Tayte is fighting her own secrets, her own dragons. Weighed down by past guilt and failures, he feels ill-equipped to help either woman, until he remembers Agnes’s lessons about courage and love. In order to save Agnes, the student must now become the teacher, helping Tayte heal—for Agnes’s sake, and for his.
About the Author
L.C. Lewis (Laurie) was born and raised in rural Maryland,
surrounded by history-rich Philadelphia, Washington, and Baltimore. She and her
husband Tom reside in Carroll County, Maryland, where they raised their four
children.
The Dragons of Alsace Farm, Laurie’s eighth published novel,
was inspired by a loved one’s struggle with the dragon of dementia. Her women’s
fiction novels include Unspoken (2004) and Awakening Avery (2010), written as
Laurie Lewis. Using the pen name L.C. Lewis, she wrote the five volumes of her
award-winning FREE MEN and DREAMERS historical fiction series, set against the
backdrop of the War of 1812, America’s nearly forgotten second war of
independence: Dark Sky at Dawn
(2007), Twilight’s Last Gleaming
(2008), Dawn’s Early Light (2009), Oh, Say Can You See? (2010), and In God is Our Trust, (2011).
Dark Sky at Dawn
and Twilight’s Last Gleaming were
finalists in the 2008 USA Best Books competition. Oh, Say Can You See? was a 2010 Whitney Award finalist.
Three new books are in progress. Please watch for her remake
of Awakening Avery, a political suspense novel titled The Shell Game, both of
which are slated for later in 2016, and a March 2017 novella, Laurie’s
contribution to the multi-author “Destination Billionaire Romance” series.
