Fiction. Literature. HTML:

"Everybody has a story. You listen to that story, Honeygirl, and your story will come find you." Her Grand Lady spoke these words when Abby was just a girl, spending the summer in rural Louisiana, surrounded by an extended, loving family. She's been listening carefully ever since.

Now Abby is raising her own family thousands of miles away. And even though Hawaii might seem like paradise to some, it's a long way away from those idyllic days she remembers, sitting with her grandmother, learning about the beauty and mystery of life. So Abby has just one wish: that her daughter Hannah might be touched by the beauty of her 92-year-old Grand Lady's stories, before it's too late.

But when Hannah finally does spend time with Grand Lady, the old woman crushes her tender spirit. And a mother-daughter journey home becomes an adventure of discovery-about the importance of family and the healing found in forgiveness. In Gardenias for Breakfast, mothers and daughters may recognize a branch or two from their own family trees and find themselves wishing not only for Grand Lady's guidance but also for Hannah's ability to smell the clouds.

Interesting book about the relationships between mothers and daughters. Abby is given a chance to have a vacation with her daughter and drive across the states from Washington to Louisiana to visit Abby's grandmother, Grand Lady. She can't wait to get her daughter Hannah to experience the wonderful things that she did as a child and to be blessed by Grand Lady. But why is she so reluctant to let Hannah get to know her own grandmother, Abby's mother? Many things happen on this trip and perhaps Hannah teaches Abby more than Abby wanted to teach Hannah. Forgiveness is a theme as other relationship issues also are but the love and forgiveness of the Lord shines through it all. The Christian themes are very subtle and not over powering. ( )

A lovely story, one that I couldn't help but read right away. This is the story of a woman growing up and facing her past. She also faces the future in the guise of extended time with her daughter.

This is more serious than Gunn's Sisterchick series, and very worthwhile. ( )

A story of a mother and her child and trying to connect with each other while traveling back to the mother's special memory place, her "Grand Lady's" home in Louisiana. Abby and her daughter, Hannah live in Hawaii, but Abby has a chance to go back to the place that has special memories for her and wants to take her daughter there now. It was a good story about how we remember things, but maybe the way we remember them is not the way things really were. About forgiveness and trying to reconcile with your past. ( )
