Synopsis:
It’s the year 1802 in Avignon, France…
Noah Capet has spent most of his young life living simple and unvaried days in the hushed countryside of southern France. Quiet, reserved, and diffident, his preference for existing is to do so in solitude, keeping to himself both in town and on his family’s farm—a predilection that’s altogether disrupted when a newcomer to town by the name of Jeremie Perreault begins an unremitting quest to befriend him.
Jeremie is everything Noah is not. Charismatic and gregarious, he leaves a trail of charmed admirers in his wake wherever he goes. Expressive and idealistic, he talks without end about his deep love for old books and his spirited dream to one day travel the world on a literary pilgrimage.
Over the course of a single summer, the two form an unlikely friendship, but just as quickly as it develops, it soon entirely dissolves as they’re forced to face the truth of what has unexpectedly emerged between them.
Lavender in Bloom is a tender and tragic coming-of-age story about first love and self-discovery, and a poignant reminder that time is fleeting and always takes with it the choices we’re too afraid to make.

AUTHOR BIO
Lily
Velez has been writing stories since she was six years old. Not much
has changed since then. She still prefers the written word and her
overactive imagination over the 'real world' (though to be fair,
her stories no longer feature talking dinosaurs). A graduate of
Rollins College and a Florida native, when she's not reading or writing,
she spends most of her days wrangling up her pit bulls Noah and
Luna, planning exciting travel adventures, and nursing her addiction
to cheese. All this when she isn't participating in the extreme sport
known as napping. You can learn more about Lily and her books at www.lilyvelezbooks.com.
