DescriptionIn Blue Dahlia, the acclaimed author Nora Roberts introduces us to Stella Rothchild, a recently widowed woman determined to rebuild her life. Moving back to her roots near Memphis, Tennessee, Stella hopes to find solace and a fresh start for herself and her two energetic young sons. The picturesque surroundings of Harper House offer the perfect environment for new beginnings.
With her boys thriving in their new school, Stella immerses herself in her new role managing the successful nursery, In the Garden. Here, she encounters Roz Harper, a local legend and captivating boss, whose guidance helps Stella navigate her new path. Alongside her work, Stella forms a meaningful friendship with Hayley Phillips, a feisty young woman who arrives at Harper House pregnant and seeking employment. The bonds forged within the nursery offer Stella a sense of belonging and support.
Stella's heart begins to awaken after years of dormancy when she meets Logan Kitridge, the nursery's talented landscaper. Their initial encounters are charged with an electric attraction, shaking Stella to her core and reigniting a spark within her. As Logan gets under her skin, Stella experiences feelings of passion and joy she believed were lost forever.
However, Harper House harbours an enigmatic presence known as the Harper Bride, a ghostly figure whose sorrow and rage linger through time. This tormented spirit, driven mad by love and loss, becomes a haunting adversary poised to disrupt Stella and Logan's burgeoning relationship. The Harper Bride's relentless quest to tear them apart casts a dark shadow over Stella’s new life.
Roberts crafts a compelling narrative woven with themes of love, loss, and the supernatural in Blue Dahlia. As Stella battles the ghosts of the past—both literal and metaphorical—she must navigate the intricate tapestry of relationships and emotions that define her new reality. With its richly developed characters and evocative setting, Blue Dahlia promises a journey of enduring hope and unanticipated passion.
