Her website is www.annhgabhart.com I read the Scent of Lilacs back in 2005 and I loved it then and it was just as good the second time around. Ann can write a fantastic story that keeps you turning pages. This book not only has  some humor it has the best characters, it has true life struggles that you will not want to miss. I found the character Jocie Brooke ( I love that name) to be someone that I could be a real friend to. Ann wrote this story based in Kentucky which was great for me, I am a wildcat fan and I lived in Kentucky for some time. I recommend this book and I gave it 4 stars I was given a copy of this book by the publisher
