A wedding on ladybug farm - donna ball

When Bridget, Cici and Lindsay left behind their safe suburban lives for a stately old mansion in the Shenandoah Valley, they redefined the concept of family.

The friends, like the house, have faced many challenges and undergone major changes over the years.

But the one thing they never imagined was that one day they would be expanding their house of women to make room for a husband.

A second marriage in midlife is never easy, and Lindsay and Dominic know they will be facing their share of adjustments when they begin their life together.

But she has the Vera Wang; she has a famous style columnist as her wedding planner; her best friend is the most popular caterer in the county, and she is marrying the love of her life.

What could possibly go wrong? When the wedding takes place at Ladybug Farm, the answer is: almost anything.

The three friends have weathered many storms together, but this one could shake the foundation of their life together.

Only when they are faced with the loss of someone they all hold dear do they come to a renewed appreciation for the depth of their devotion to each other, the power of love, and the real meaning of family.
