Download or read book A Scent of Lavender written by Margaret W. Miller and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1879, and mining camps are springing up all over Utah. At the age of 18, Lillian Lewis finds herself alone after the tragic death of her entire family. When she obtains work in a Bullion Canyon boardinghouse in Marysvale, Utah, a ruffian miner relentlessly pursues her. Seeking escape from his unwanted attentions, she travels with an old freighter to the mining town of Frisco, Utah where she hopes to be hired as a teacher. A devout Mormon, Lillian is saddened to learn of the hatred that the Frisco community has for members of her faith, so when she is hired to be Frisco's newest teacher, she vows to keep what is most precious to her a secret. The students she has been hired to teach are incorrigible. Numerous teachers have run screaming from the schoolhouse after only a few days with them, but Lillian doesn't know the meaning of the word "Quit!" Starting from her first day, her creative teaching methods motivate her students to reach within themselves to find the greatness that lies there. There are numerous challenges, but Lillian refuses to give in to discouragement. Lillian's benevolent spirit radiates to those around her, especially the two men who vie for her love. Charles Anderson, the father of her worst nightmare in her classroom, finds his crusty exterior softening and his broken heart mending under her gentle gaze. Captured by Lillian's smile, Sheriff Phillips, who has been hired to clean up Frisco, a town more evil than Tombstone, begins to question his violent nature. Those who are with Lillian in a near-fatal mine cave-in come to realize their weaknesses and the hidden goodness they possess, and Lillian's students rise to the pinnacle of success as they compete with neighboring schools in an exhilarating history contest. In the end, the entire Frisco community undergoes a religious metamorphosis under Lillian's special tutelage. And in the dark of night, a mysterious lady in black walks Frisco's streets, and the gentle scent of lavender swirls through the air. What is their origin, and what secrets do they have to tell?

Book excerpt: "A lucidly described coming-of-age tale" about a young boy and three teenage sisters who have "a mysterious, almost mythic feminine glamour." - Kirkus Reviews In this coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, a lonely boy finds acceptance when he spends the summer in a loving family with three beautiful daughters. Twelve-year-old Joey Roland is sent away to family friends while his parents try to work things out. He's eager to leave sadness and secrets behind in Chicago and head downstate to the small town of Greenberry, where the Vitale family awaits him. He thinks of their town as boyland-a world of bike riding, fishing, and going barefoot. Though initially shy of the teenaged daughters-Anne, Vita, and Beth-they welcome him into their lives of adventure, beauty, and dreams. Joey especially bonds with the middle sister, Vita, and her all-or-nothing pursuit of an acting career. Joeys "there must be more" merges with Vita's "I must make it happen" resulting in a magical summer where the town of Greenbury becomes the crucible for two desperate dreamers.
