Under Bettie's guidance, even the most reluctant of Avalon's residents come to terms with their past and make bold decisions about their future. But when the group receives unexpected news about their steadfast leader, they must pull together to create something truly memorable."--Provided by publisher. |

Author Notes
- Booklist Reviews : Booklist Reviews 2013 January #1
Isabel Kidd is having enough trouble getting over her cheating almost-ex-husband's death without the interference of her busybody neighbor, Bettie Shelton, cajoling her into hosting a scrapbooking party. Ava is struggling to make ends meet for her and her son, Max, making bottle-cap jewelry. Frances Latham and her husband discover some troubling news about Mei Ling, their prospective adoptive daughter from China. And there's a goat loose behind Madeline's Tea Salon. There are many threads to this story (including a female plumber with a secret past), but, like a good scrapbooker, Gee puts them all together beautifully. Bettie is the glue that holds the residents of Avalon togetherâwhether they like it or notâand as she seems to unravel, the town comes together. This funny, moving book is the follow-up to Friendship Bread (2011), although The Avalon Ladies Scrapbooking Society can stand on its own. A welcome addition to any women's-fiction collection and a good choice for fans of Debbie Macomber's knitting series. Recipes and scrapbooking tips are included. Copyright 2012 Booklist Reviews.
Darien Gee lives in Hawaii with her husband and their three children. She is also the author of Friendship Bread.
