. .

Résumé :
Grief pretends it's our best friend. But our true best friends hold our hands and light the way. Juliana and Rachel have been best friends for years. Which is why their long-distance friendship has been so hard. When tragedy strikes Rachel's family, Juliana begs to be by her friend's side, but her family forbids the 3,300 km journey. Scared this tragedy could threaten her friendship with Rachel forever, Juliana searches for help in her great-grandmother's sketchbook... The war has left Elisabeth's cousin Georg with horrible nightmares, everyone fears and ridicules him, and the pastor declares Georg's suffering a punishment from God. But Elisabeth wonders: Does God not call on His followers to help those who are suffering? When she tries to, though, customers threaten to stop taking their shoes to Mammi, and Mammi reveals why she, too, believes Georg deserves these nightmares. Does Elisabeth obey her mother and stay away from her cousin? Or does she try to help a former solider whose mind is surrendering to memories of the horrific war? As Juliana struggles to support a mourning Rachel from afar, and Elisabeth toils with conflicting feelings about Georg's anguish, both girls face difficult decisions about how they can best help people they love grieve.

Biographie:
Lori Wolf-Heffner is the author of the young adult series Between Worlds and the sweet romance series Love on Belmont. Inspired by her great-grandmother's story, Lori wrote and published Between Worlds 1: The Move in 2018. In this series, girls strive to grow up according to their dreams. Whether Juliana today is still trying to discover her life's goals or Elisabeth in 1920 dreams of fulfilling her community's expectations of her, it's up to them to decide what paths they want to follow. In 2020, Lori wanted to branch out into a series for adults that would still have connections to her favourite neighbourhood and even to Between Worlds. Books and tea went well together, but she knew that basing a series in a real but very small location like Belmont Village came with a high level of responsibility: readers might assume that what Lori wrote about had actually happened in real life. She approached the owner of All Things Tea, the real tea shop in Belmont Village, to ensure she could create a fictional tea shop in a romance series. She was given the green light, and Love on Belmont was born.Lori was an inaugural member of the Canadian National Tap Team, wrote and submitted a Star Trek novel in her teens (it was rejected-she needed an agent), and spent one day twice in Luxembourg and 15 minutes once in Switzerland. She can also do cartwheels.
