! Patricia Upchurch, author of "Summer Blessings," will visit The Texas Store to sign her book from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, May 10. Upchurch, a member of the Texas Writers Network, Mystery Writers of America and Romance Writers of America, lives in Tyler with her husband, Jim. "Summer Blessings" tells the story of Catherine Blessing, her husband and their blended family. They return from their annual January cruise to find that Catherine has won the state lottery. A special vacation for all the members of their family has been a dream of Catherine's. They use a part of the lottery award to lease a large estate on the small island of St. Xavier in the Caribbean. The family ranges from Catherine's precocious three-year-old grandson to her 100-year-old mother, 21 in all. The summer is a grand experience starting with a plane crash and going on to a nervous breakdown, a group of nudists and the discovery of a large scale money laundering scheme. Life with the Blessings is a neverending adventure.
