Reviews
2019 Reader's Favorite Gold Medal for Chick Lit FAPA 2019 President's Book Award Gold Medal for Romance "A sweet novel that aims to remind readers that the best moments in life may sometimes be the most ordinary." -Kirkus Reviews "A Year of Extraordinary Moments is an intricate tale which weaves a grandmother's dying wish with the harsher realities of abandonment, alcoholism, and lost love. Each story so heartrending and complete, I felt like I'd read five books in one." -Rebecca Rosenberg, The Secret Life of Mrs. London "Bette Lee Crosby has a magical way of guiding readers to see ordinary moments in life as extraordinary. The title for this heartwarming story could not be better. Despite loss, pain, disappointment, and other challenges, Crosby assures there is always forgiveness, love, and hope. All of that is skillfully crafted on these pages." -Patricia Sands, bestselling author of the Love in Provence series "Bravo. Crosby is truly a story whisperer; she tells a tender tale as though she is in a cafe sharing something that happened to people you know and care about. The women in A Year of Extraordinary Moments are the kind of characters who live on long after the last page is turned." -Marilyn Simon Rothstein, author of Lift and Separate "A Year of Extraordinary Moments is that rare book that makes you believe in the power of love. Filled with memorable characters and important life lessons, Betty Lee Crosby's latest is a Southern treat to the last page." -Anita Hughes, author of California Summer "Engrossing and warm, the Magnolia Grove series has it all. Southern charm, heartfelt characters and a family-driven storyline that quite magically blurs the line between fiction and reality. Add to that more than a few surprises and A Year of Extraordinary Moments is my favorite Magnolia Grove story to date!" -Heather Burch, bestselling author of Something Like Family
