Have you ever had an experience so disheartening that you want to go to bed and pull the covers over your head? That is what Julia Darrow is doing with her life, although she may not see it that way. She lives and works in Lambert Square, a renovated factory space that has turned boutique. Located in South Carolina, it is inhabited by colorful small town characters each possessing qualities necessary for the success of this supportive, caring community. Julia owns high-end linens boutique named Cocoon where she and her employees wear pajamas. Where is Prince Charming to kiss this Sleeping Beauty?
Enter John Dodge, a successful entrepreneur, who travels around the country buying failing businesses, moving on once he has turned them around. He has just come to Lambert Square after purchasing a collectible fountain pen store sight unseen. Julia intrigues him and the feeling is mutual. As the story unfolds, their emotional baggage is exposed and we learn their secrets.
Although not from the south, Rosina Lippi uses her love for language to weave a rich, tightly woven tapestry of words that accurately describes southern speech patterns, values, habits and expectations. Lambert Square is charming place and the characters that live there have depth and integrity. You will want to visit often.
