All Started With A Lima Bean
by Kimi Flores
Releases: August 8, 2013
Synopsis:
A past that haunts can be laid to rest through the act of forgiveness,
even if the person you forgive is yourself. It must be gifted freely.
Abby Sullivan cherishes the life she is creating for herself in her hometown of Santa Barbara, California. She adores her best friend and supportive family. Her job as a kindergarten teacher offers her life hope and purpose. She is very talented at many things, especially hiding the pain of her past. That is until her world collides with Caleb Hunter’s, giving them both a lesson in forgiveness and love.
A life changing love is cruelly snatched by sickness and death. A person must be willing to give love, the greatest gift of all, to receive love.
A successful writer, Caleb is living life day-to-day. Giving refuge to his sad and lonely heart since his wife's sudden death from cervical cancer, his primary focus becomes honoring her memory by rearing their five-year-old daughter, Madison. Yet, when Madison Hunter walks into Miss Abby’s kindergarten class, everything changes for all three of them.
With a little nudge from a loving mother-in-law who has everyone’s best interest at heart, anything is possible, especially when forgiveness and love gift even more blessings than ever imaginable.

My Review:

I love how the book started, heartbreaking and full of emotions that you can easily got carried away on the scenes. I never thought a heartbreaking scene would be interesting to start a story, but this start really has my interest and made me curios on how things work between the characters having such a heartbreaking event that happened to his life.
This book really made you realize that even though a person lost his/her beloved once, it doesn't mean you cannot moved on and find another that will also love you for who you are but also that can accept you with/without your flaws.
It All Started with a Lima Bean is really a good book! I love the story and how it was written.
The author really made a good job on making this book interesting. The characters are well made and they are easy to relate with and attached. I enjoyed reading this book and I am happy to say that it really is worth reading.
Author Bio:
Kimi lives in So Ca
with her high school sweetheart, prom date, and now husband of over 20 years as
well as with her two boys that bring so much joy and laughter to her life.
There is never a dull moment in Kimi’s day with these three guys by her side. Her
family and she are happily involved in volunteer work with several local
non-profit organizations. They believe that everyone needs to do their part and
a portion of her sales will always go to charity.
At an early age, Kimi
discovered the magical world of imagination. Many stories were written as well
as illustrated by her as a child. Not realizing at the time that she had
dyslexia, schoolwork became extremely difficult, and her confidence as a reader
and writer dwindled. Thanks to a high teacher who took the time to invest in
her, Kimi found a love for literary legends such as Nathaniel Hawthorne,
Washington Irving and Jane Austen. This teacher helped Kimi create one of the
happiest school memories she holds. Discovering in college that she had the
learning disability was terribly discouraging since help was not readily
available and her reading and writing confidence fell once again.
Needing to find a
distraction when her husband unexpectedly ended up in the hospital for a week,
Kimi explored the indie reading world. Jumping in with everything she had, Kimi
pushed herself to read over 150 books last year. During that process, many
characters reappeared in her imagination and insisted that their stories be told.
Putting all self-doubt and barriers aside, she started writing the outlines and
drafts for the four books in her Intertwined Hearts Series as well as bits and
pieces of the three books in her next series, Down by the Bay.
Her message to you is
similar to that of pop icon, will.i.am’s: ~You can focus on your problems or
you can focus on your dreams ~
