Small town girl is wooed by the bright city lights.
It is on a river showboat that Helen Heise becomes Helena, and is bitten by the "show biz bug."
Since Brett-her intended-is off and away to fight in the war, Helena is free to wander. A showboat, Broadway, the flickers. Then Hollywood.
Not even the love of her life can lure her back to Chancey's Bend, Kentucky.
But then, is the backwater town really what Brett thinks he wants?
Will these two lovers forever be separated by miles? By miss-crossed destinies?
Or will they discover a locale where together their
lilac love
can bloom and grow?
Time of Our Lilac Love
is set at the brink of WWI, an event that changes the entire world. A showboat called
Pleasures-A-Plenty
plays a starring role in the outset of the story. It's on this magical showboat where Helen (to become Helena) discovers the wide world outside the small Kentucky town of Chancey's Bend. And her life is forever changed.
