Book Two, Promises to Keep, and Book Three, I Promise You This. This trilogy was published by Lake Union Publishing.

Drawing Lessons, Sands’ fifth novel, also set in the south of France, was released by Lake Union Publishing on October 1, 2017 and a finalist in the Chanticleer Somerset Literary Fiction Awards.
