Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Proving true friendship can create fierce family ties, Ball's exceptional sequel to 2009's A Year on Ladybug Farm updates the trials, tribulations and triumphs of three single women of a certain age struggling to renovate Blackwell Farms, a rundown Virginia estate. A year has passed since Lindsay Wright, Cici Burke and Bridget Tindale arrived from Baltimore to live on the farm. Adding joy and sometimes frustration to the household are crusty old housekeeper Ida Mae; Cici's 20-year-old daughter Lori, who doesn't want to return to college in California; and Noah Clete, a fatherless 15-year-old Lindsay wants to adopt. Ball's bright examination of their efforts to rehab a place that was burned down during the Civil War, rebuilt, and then served as a winery, a home for WWII military wives and a creamery known for its cheeses, is absolutely delectable. Injecting extra zing are Ball's fascinating flashbacks, while Noah's transformation from misfit to responsible teen is another sweet note in this entertaining treatise of how love overcomes adversity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great sequel!, December 23, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: At Home on Ladybug Farm (Paperback)
Having read "A Year on Ladybug Farm" and loved it, I was delighted to read the sequel - it's just as good (which doesn't always happen, unfortunately). I'd recommend both books to anyone who enjoys a good read and marvelous characters. Hope there will be another Ladybug book soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read and great sequel, November 30, 2009
This review is from: At Home on Ladybug Farm (Paperback)
This is crisp, engaging, well-paced storytelling that drew me in, made me laugh out loud, and had me rooting for every character--two or four-legged--as they collectively faced their challenges. As Lindsey, Cici, and Bridget open their hearts to Lady Bug Farm, working feverishly to restore its grandeur, Lady Bug Farm yields up a fascinating history that eventually unites them all.

At Home on Lady Bug Farm would make a fabulous movie. Hollywood, are you listening....?

4.0 out of 5 stars Great sequel, November 3, 2009
By Nancy J. Mumford "njm1958" (W. Barnstable, MA USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I enjoyed this sequel even more than the first book. The flashbacks brought the history of the home to life and tied the story together better. More successes than failures with the home improvements also kept the book a little more upbeat.
