Thank you to Macmillan Audio for this free advanced listening copy. And thanks to NetGalley and Forge for the free digital copy I read with the audio.

What a delight this book was. Southern charm with a dash of magical whimsy. It’s like if this book was caramel and the magic was the salt making it that much more delightful. Plus the magic elements just fit into the story and aren’t overly explained. The characters are human and flawed and therefore relatable and likeable. There are family secrets, a tree that dispenses wisdom and unexpected delights to be found within these pages.

For readers who like Katherine Center, Sweet Magnolias, and Hart of Dixie.
