The Lemon Orchard by Luanne Rice

Julia's life has been turned upside down. Her sixteen year old daughter, Jenny, had a car accident killing herself and her father. When Julia's aunt and uncle ask her to come to Malibu and house sit for them while they travel she accepts hoping for peace and quiet. The lemon orchard is just as she remembers with the addition of the manager, Roberto.  The connection these two share is amazing and quite a story.

 This is a book that when you finish it you stop and have to sit back and think about it. The beginning, middle, and ending were wonderful. I loved getting to know Julia and Roberto and their stories. Learning their past and their present made them very real to me. It is also kept me guessing as to what their future would be. The love these two shared was sweet and heart warming. They were true partners not just friends or lovers.

 I had tears, smiles, and love all come from the story Luanne Rice told. The Lemon Orchard is an amazing story that I will happily recommend over and over again.
