Where the Last Rose Blooms by Ashley ClarkMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Oh, what a captivating southern dual-time story. The narrator pinned down the Southern accent brilliantly and I could see and feel the Southern Charm.
Both timelines were very enjoyable, but I think the modern story line spoke to me, mainly due the struggles Alice experienced in her relationship with God and not seeing healing as she wanted and prayed for.
This was a strong finish for the series and my favourite of the three stories.
