A Wedding on Primrose Street

Anne Richardson plans weddings for a living, and she has watched plenty of mothers of the bride turn into Momzillas. She swears she will never become one. Then her daughter Laney gets engaged, and the vow falls apart.

Anne becomes fixed on giving Laney the ideal wedding she never had herself. It has to take place in Icicle Falls, at Primrose Haus, and nowhere else.

Roberta Gilbert owns Primrose Haus, a charming Victorian where she has hosted events for thirty years. Weddings are her specialty, but mothers and daughters are not. When her daughter Daphne returns home and offers to help run the business, the receptions turn memorable for all the wrong reasons. Meanwhile Roberta's gardener seems far more interested in Daphne than in planting primroses.

This is a light, comic women's fiction novel with two mother-daughter pairs at its centre. The tone is warm and humorous, and the trouble comes from family tension and the stress of a wedding rather than from danger. Readers get a small-town setting, a venue with history, and a hint of romance on the side.
