Ants on Peonies

Ants on Peonies

Beth Thompson
4.6/5 ( ratings)
Glossy, black ants munching their way across the curled buds of June’s favorite flower. Do ants help or hinder the peony? That remains a question.
On the surface, Valentine appears to have it all – a glamorous career as a photographer, a handsome husband and a beautiful daughter. But under this veneer lies a fragile reality – a lingering brain injury from a devastating car accident that threatens to destroy her life and her relationships. The sudden appearance of her first love, Jack, further complicates things.
With each encounter valentine is more and more confused about Jack. Does he help or hinder her? That remains a question. Join Valentine in her unflinching quest to conquer the past and find happiness.
Ants on Peonies is a page-turner that will stay with you long after you have turned the last page.

Ants on Peonies is an intriguing story of young love, a whirlwind romance, and the desire to rise above the past.
The story traces three decades in the life of its protagonist Valentine, and how her encounters with her first love, Jack, shapes her life. As much a tale of conflicting emotions as it is of a search for happiness, Ants on Peonies is a classic take on fated relationships.

An extract from the book:
God, help me to be the person I should be. I’m sorry for thinking about Jack so much when I should be thinking about you. I’ll say an extra round on the rosary tonight. But you know, if you could make it happen, please make Jack like me back. Valentine has had her life peppered with running into the first love of her life, Jack. While she can’t think of a reason why she should be with him, she has never found a compelling reason to leave him and the memories behind. As Valentine traces her life from the fateful summer of 1976 to 2007 she sees a relationship akin to ants and peonies: fated but difficult to label as good or bad. There is no denying however that they have a relationship. The question is: is it enough?
Join Valentine in her unflinching quest to conquer the past and find happiness.
