Joyce DeBacco

Serendipity House  e-book or paperback.

Named Best Indie Romance of 2011 at Red Adept Reviews.

Lynn O'Dell of Red Adept Reviews says, "At heart, this was a romance, yet the story never descends into the sappy dialogue and thought processes of a swooning nymphette." 

 Emily L. of Single Titles says, "Joyce DeBacco writes a compelling novel that is sure to warm your heart.  With complex characters and an intriguing story line, the book is difficult to put down."

Limerence Magazine says, "Every once in a while it's good to read a book with some drama. Joyce DeBacco's TOMORROW BLOSSOMS is definitely that book. The story definitely worked and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I highly recommend this book to read and give it 5 out of 5 stars."

Alle Wells 5 Star Reviews says, “I've had the delightful pleasure of reading another book written by Joyce DeBacco. Her light, wholesome stories center on family life and the trials and tribulations that often come with it. She has a wonderful way of depicting the joys and sorrows of everyday life.”

Wendy Hines of Minding Spot says, “I know after reading Joyce's other book, Where Dreams are Born, that I would find a place in my heart for her new tale. If you haven't read any of her writing, you should treat yourself. She covers many issues that people deal with daily and her characters strengths far outshine their weaknesses. Another stellar read!”
