Book Your Lunch with Donna Ball October 21, 2010

Love is in the air in the third book in award-winning author Donna Ball’s bestselling Ladybug Farm series, Love Letters from Ladybug Farm (Berkley, paperback, $14.00, releases October 5th).

Renovating a broken-down mansion in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley gave three lifelong friends a welcome second chance. But after taking the biggest risk of their lives, are these women also willing to risk their hearts?

All the effort Cici, Lindsay, and Bridget have put into transforming an historic but overgrown farm into an upscale winery and special events business is paying off — Ladybug Farm has been chosen to host a society wedding. What this really means is that they are about to be invaded by warring mothers-in-law, a Bridezilla, and a completely clueless groom. They have their hands full keeping Ladybug Farm from descending into total chaos.

But there’s something about a wedding…
