How I Planned Your Wedding
Bestselling author Susan Wiggs literally wrote the book on happily-ever-after love. But orchestrating her daughter Elizabeth's real-world wedding turned into a different story altogether, and one that takes two to tell—the mother and the bride.
Here is the all-too-true tale of a mother and daughter collaborating on life's ultimate celebration—a dream wedding. Often poignant, sometimes irreverent and always hilarious, this charming book is also packed with useful advice from both ends of the cupcake-tasting table. Join mother and daughter as they wade through the trenches of flowers and favors, grueling gown decisions…and the cold, cruel realities of a budget. With luck, love and loads of patience, they come out on the other side, bloodied but unbowed, replete with life lessons—and closer than ever before.

How I Planned Your Wedding chronicles Elizabeth Wiggs Maas on her journey through wedding planning. I picked the story up because I like Susan Wigg's books, and well, who doesn't like a wedding?
What I found was it's about ten percent Susan and ninety percent Elizabeth. Unfortunately, I couldn't empathize with Elizabeth's situation. The first blow comes when her parents inform her they are only willing to pa

Daisy Bellamy was fortunate surrounded by people she loved and who loved her yet searched for the great love of her life. There are times when you have to settle for safe and steady even though still tempted by fiery and risky. Her life seemed shaped by mistakes made over the years. Having Charlie as a teenage unwed mother was a whopper, but never regretted. Charlie was the focus of all her love and her life.

Genre(s): Contemporary, Women's Fiction
"Dockside" by Susan Wiggs is the third in the popular Lakeside Chronicles series. Each book stands alone, but it helps to have read the previous two, "Summer at Willow Lake" and "The Winter Lodge," to understand all the family entanglements. As with the earlier stories, "Dockside" takes place in idyllic Avalon, in upstate New York, on the banks of lovely Willow Lake.
Nina Romano is a feisty leading lad
