About the Book

Title: Sunflowers in Paris
Series: The Strings of Sisterhood #2
Author: Ashley Rescot
Publisher: Rescot Creative
Release Date: April 7, 2026
Genre: Clean Contemporary Split-time Romance

After a career-altering injury, violist Adrienne Pearson digs deep into her French roots. As the second of five sisters, she seeks individuality. But when several of her family members and friends decide to join her on a French excursion, she must navigate old and new relationships while finding her place in a foreign land. Will she rediscover her voice in the home of her ancestors?

Jean-David Béranger, a brooding, reclusive French journalist, finds his life upturned when his eccentric godmother invites an entourage of American students to live with them while studying music at the local conservatoire. Can Adrienne, a beautiful American sunflower girl, dismantle the fortress surrounding his heart and convince him to turn toward the light?

Sunflowers in Paris takes the reader on a journey through the Loire Valley, Versailles, and Paris, the City of Light, weaving elements of historical and contemporary French life with a centuries-old cold case about a real, 18th-century composer.

My Take

Most readers of my blog know that I am someone who adores flowers, art and reading. It will come as no surprise that I found Sunflowers in Paris by Ashley Rescot as a book that was written just for me. I found several themes, but I really connected with the theme of creativity the most, especially since it was set in Paris. It left me with that feeling you get when you walk through a garden in the golden hour.

Writing about emotional beauty is difficult, but Rescot helps me navigate this with her descriptions of Paris, art, flowers, and relationships through her vivid imagination. As I discovered my creativity and artistry during my 60s, the book deeply resonated with me.

One of the most delightful surprises connected to this book came after I finished reading it. I discovered that Ashley Rescot’s parents actually live near me, which suddenly made the reading experience feel even more personal and connected. It reminded me once again how small and beautifully intertwined the world can sometimes be. Books have a remarkable way of creating connections between strangers!

If you love novels filled with heart, artistic inspiration, emotional healing, and beautiful settings, Sunflowers in Paris is absolutely worth adding to your reading list. It is the kind of story best enjoyed slowly, with flowers blooming somewhere close to you!
