Hard to believe we're halfway through the year already! Family Blossom is slated for release on July 31 and I can't wait for you to get your hands on it! Check out my instagram feed for little tidbits about the book, @nolalibarr.

In the meantime, Geraldine's short story is written and at the editor. It took me a long time to figure out what her love story would be. Her siblings were easier because they were teenagers or older already, but Geraldine was only ten when Rose joined the family. But I finally figured it out and am in love with her story. Planning on getting it to yall in the Fall. 

As always, there are some books to peruse near the bottom of this newsletter including the second book in the Andrews Family Saga by a dear author friend, Kimberly C. Miller. Hope you enjoy! 

Anne is the happiest she’s ever been, and her wedding is just around the corner. This is meant to be the biggest moment of her life—a chance to celebrate the love she has found with not only Sebastian but also her new-found family.

But Anne is the wealthiest woman in town and her upcoming nuptials provide an opportunity for her enemies to undo her newfound happiness. As the big day draws closer, the complications keep mounting, and Anne is torn four different ways: planning the wedding of her dreams, bridging the gap within her family, fighting off slanderous attacks, and supporting her husband-to-be when his own long-kept family secrets are exposed.

Being true to herself could very well mean losing the family she’s only just found.

Family Blossom is the fourth and final book in the Skyline Mansion family saga series. Join Anne as she learns to navigate societal and cultural expectations and what it means to have and be loved by an extended family.

A decades-old scandal. A mysterious inheritance. Can a young woman survive a family desperate to keep their past buried?

Skyline Mansion is a heartfelt women’s fiction series. If you like soul-searching heroines, paths to self-discovery, and stories of perseverance and inner strength, then you’ll adore these generation-spanning tales.
