'Twas the Week Before Easter

I absolutely adore Easter. As much as I love Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas, I might even love Easter more. I like the food (we do lamb and cheesy potatoes and peas--and for breakfast, homemade cinnamon rolls). I love the flowers that are blooming like the dogwood tree next door. I love new dresses and sandals and sometimes even a hat. I love the colors and the focus on Jesus's resurrection. Seriously. What's not to love?
So, why, of all my books, have I written none that are actually during Easter? 

I have several Christmas ones. Those are super fun. And I have a Valentine's one in a novella collection. But none that are set at only Easter time. In fact, when I search for books around this time of year, I find not many set solely around Easter. It's a shame, isn't it? I think I may need to contemplate this some more and see what I can come up with.
Until then, I do have a couple of books that include Easter. Saving Grace has a sweet scene where Greg gives Michelle an Easter Egg full of jelly beans after church services. And Writing Home has a chapter or two that include Easter and all the festivities, but it covers almost a year, so that makes sense. I don't think any of my other books even mention it.
Do you love books set during a particular holiday? What's your favorite? Have you found some good reads set around Easter? I'd love suggestions!
