"Set in the hot and humid, slower-paced summertime days of 1964 Kentucky, The Scent of Lilacs is a novel full of secrets. Ann H. Gabhart is a wonderful inspirational author and one I would enjoy reading again."--Sherri Myers, Romancejunkies.com
"This was a wonderful book."-- Patsy Glans, The Road to Romance
"I loved this story of life in a small town. The author's ability to let the reader know exactly what her characters are thinking brings out the spiritual struggles that began taking shape in the 1960s across the United States, and ultimately, the world. Her ability to weave the various story lines into a cohesive story is outstanding."--BellaOnline.com
