Synopsis:
Blue Bishop has a knack for finding lost things. While growing up in charming small-town Buttonwood, Alabama, she's happened across lost wallets, jewelry, pets, her wandering neighbor, and sometimes, trouble. No one is more surprised than Blue, however, when she comes across an abandoned newborn baby in the woods, just south of a very special buttonwood tree.
Sarah Grace Landreneau Fulton is at a crossroads. She has always tried so hard to do the right thing, but her own mother would disown her if she ever learned half of Sarah Grace's secrets.
The unexpected discovery of the newborn baby girl will alter Blue's and Sarah Grace's lives forever. Both women must fight for what they truly want in life and for who they love. In doing so, they uncover long-held secrets that reveal exactly who they really are--and what they're willing to sacrifice in the name of family.
My Rating:
My Thoughts:
I wasn't sure what to expect going into this, even after reading the synopsis, so I went into this a bit hesitant. Glad I did because I did enjoy this book surprisingly. This story takes place in Alabama where we meet both Blue Bishop and Sarah Grace. They are so different yet meshed together so well. All the characters of the story have some type of ability.
This was a fun read that was steeped in history, secrets, magic and reputations of the various families. This is the type of light hearted read that will make you feel good and get lost in the pages. I truly enjoyed this and definitely can see me re-reading this book. Definitely would recommend this.
