“In Sweet Olive, Judy Christie invites us into a community of people who value beauty and prize authenticity, in life and in art. Her story draws readers into this community and makes us want—like the main character Camille—to put down roots.”

DIRECTOR OF SHE READS, WWW.SHEREADS.ORG
“When Camille Gardner is sent to Sweet Olive, Louisiana, to wrap up an oil deal, she plans to get in, get it done, and get out. Distractions prevail—first the captivating and whimsical art of local craftsmen, and then the flying sparks from the handsome attorney who opposes her business plans. Soon Camille’s assignment in Sweet Olive is completely, wonderfully derailed in the most unexpected way. Talented author Judy Christie delivers a page-turning tale of endearing characters set in charming small Louisiana towns.”

“Louisiana charm! With an endearing cast of characters, Sweet Olive is a heartfelt story with so many twists and turns I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I can’t wait to see what Judy Christie does next with the Trumpet and Vine series!”

OF CHASING LILACS AND SWEET DREAMS
“I enjoyed Judy Christie’s Sweet Olive so much. We all loved her Green series, of course. But in Sweet Olive she turns up the heat and goes deep into the pain of the past then brings us into the hope of the future. Having lived in Louisiana for close to thirty years, I understood these characters and loved visiting with them. The story made me homesick but it also made me smile and cheer and sigh. I loved it from the first page and I think you will too. If you’re looking for a good David vs. Goliath story with a little bit of Louisiana lagniappe, this is the book for you!”
