Looking for something a little light, a little fun with southern charm and magical realism??? Look no further!

If you believe in magic, come along with me
We’ll dance until morning ’til there’s just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I’ll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we’ll go dancing, baby, then you’ll see
How the magic’s in the music and the music’s in me 
-The Lovin’ Spoonful

Family, it not just the people you are related to, it is those you let into your heart. This book is full of Southern Charm, family, relationships, a tree that gives advice, a small town, women with special abilities and the question about who Flora’s mother is. Who indeed? Will the search for the truth unravel some secrets, will old grudges be forgiven, will love conquer all? Small towns are where you know everyone, and everyone knows you and your business…. or do they? This can be both a blessing and a curse.

These characters each have a journey to go on, each is interesting, vivid and real. When Blue finds a newborn baby in the woods, everything changes. Sarah Grace listens to houses. She has a knack for redecorating and well, she has her secrets and…. (read the book!)

I found this to be an extremely sweet, charming, light read. Perfect for the time we are living in. Who doesn’t want an escape from time to time? I know I do! I look forward to more books by Webber.

I received a copy of this book from Macmillan -Forge Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
