Blue Hollow Falls Book Review

I have started looking my shelf for books to read.  Many of them are parts of a series but I was happy to see that this was the first in the series.  Blue Hollow Falls by Donna Kauffman was the book that I got to read next.  I haven't read others by this author or in this series but it was a fun start.  I went on the library reserve system to reserve the second book when the libraries open so that I can check out the rest of the series but I could only find one more so I put the next one in the series on reserve.

From her free-spirited mother, Sunny Goodwin learned the value of peace, love, and Jerry Garcia. The inheritance from the father she never knew? That’s a little more complicated... Sunny never expected to find herself owning a centuries old silk mill in the shadow of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains . . . or becoming a half-sister to a ten-year-old named Bailey. Once the shock subsides, she plans to cash in and head back home. But the overgrown greenhouse she finds on the property calls out to the gardener in her, and she senses Bailey’s need for nurturing too... And someone else is making it hard for Sunny to leave: Sawyer Hartwell, an Iraq War hero who wants to make the old mill a creative hub for the artisans of Blue Hollow Falls . . . and wants Sunny to share his vision, and his life. But sexy as this ex-soldier may be, she’s not sure she’s ready to give love a chance...

Sunny grew up with her hippy mother and ended up being very prepared because she was always ready to be the responsible one in the family.  She made decisions based on her mother's actions but she recently lost her mother.  Shortly after that, she found out that she lost the father that she never met.  She found out that she was in her father's will so she drove out of DC in the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains to find out that she is now part owner of a mill and that she had a half sister.  She was overwhelmed to learn everything but she decides that she should put her part of the mill into a trust for her sister so that she has something for her future.  It is amazing to see the turn around in all the characters in this story.  You have to pick up the book to find out what happens but I know that you will be surprised by all the things that happen in the story.  I hope that you check out this book which is the first in the Blue Hollow series. I know that you will enjoy these great characters and the amazing settings in DC and Virginia.
