From the USA Today bestselling author of Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe comes Heather Webber's next charming novel, In the Middle of Hickory Lane!
Emme Wynn has wanted nothing more her whole life than to feel like part of a family. Having grown up on the run with her con artist mother, she's been shuffled from town to town, drawn into bad situations, and has learned some unsavory habits that she's tried hard to overcome. When her estranged grandmother tracks her down out of the blue and extends a job offer??helping to run her booth at an open-air marketplace in small-town Sweetgrass, Alabama??Emme is hopeful that she'll finally be able to plant the roots she's always dreamed of. But some habits are hard to break, and she risks her newfound happiness by keeping one big truth to herself.
Cora Bee Hazelton has her hands full with volunteering, gardening, her job as a color consultant and designer, and just about anything she can do to keep her mind off her painful past, a past that has resulted in her holding most everyone at arm's length. The last thing she wants is to form close relationships only to have her heart broken yet again. But when she's injured, she has no choice other than to let people into her life and soon realizes it's going to be impossible to keep her heart safe??or her secrets hidden.
In the magical neighborhood garden in the middle of Hickory Lane, Emme and Cora Bee learn some hard truths about the past and themselves, the value of friends, family, and community, and most importantly, that true growth starts from within.
A Macmillan Audio production from Forge Books.

Another fun magical realism lite rom-com from Webber. No spoilers, but you just know how it will turn out. The fun is finding out how they get there. Imaginative little twist at the end, too. ( )

I love all books written by Heather Webber and lucky me I'm a book behind in reading! This was a great family saga to follow and had a twisty turn at the end!! ( )

Thanks to Forge Books and NetGalley for a digital advance reader copy. All comments and opinions are my own.

Loved this heartwarming story of family, secrets, forgiveness, and healing. There’s a bit of romance and mystery, too, but what makes this so special is the element of magical realism.

The publisher's plot summary: “Emme Wynn has wanted nothing more her whole life than to feel like part of a family. Having grown up on the run with her con artist mother, she’s been shuffled from town to town, drawn into bad situations, and has learned some unsavory habits that she’s tried hard to overcome. When her estranged grandmother tracks her down out of the blue and extends a job offer—helping to run her booth at an open-air marketplace in small-town Sweetgrass, Alabama—Emme is hopeful that she’ll finally be able to plant the roots she’s always dreamed of. But some habits are hard to break, and she risks her newfound happiness by keeping one big truth to herself.”

I can’t give enough praise to this sweet, poignant, memorable drama. I highly recommend it! ( )

This one was not my favourite Heather Webber magical realism story, but that’s purely a matter of subjective taste for the theme. I’m not interested in reading about con men (women), even unwilling ones seeking redemption. But it had a garden with a dead body in it, and magical realism, so I was willing.

Putting aside the bits about living the life of a con, and keeping secrets, etc. there was a lot to like in this story. Once I wrapped my head around just how huge the cul-de-sac had to have been to accommodate the garden described, it sounded magical, and all the characters, as usual with Webber’s writing, come to life on the page. There is, as usual, the theme of ‘love conquers most everything’ but until the end it wasn’t dominant.

The dead body is discovered on page 1, but then just sort of lurks there in the background, while the police work at identifying the remains (they’re old). But things come together at the end and I have to say I wasn’t really expecting them to come together in quite that shape. I love when an author is able to surprise and blindside me. It bumped the story up .5 a star. ( )

Everything I’ve read by Heather Webber I have really enjoyed, and In the Middle of Hickory Lane can now be added to the list!

Webber excels at incorporating magical realism into her fiction, combine that with Southern charm and well developed characters, and you know you're in for a wonderful story.

In the Middle of Hickory Lane has long lost cousins getting to know each other, and they bloom by accepting each other’s differences and letting those differences expand their own uniqueness. We also get people in all stages of life who truly care about and for each other… along with long held secrets and a couple of twists at the end that really ties all the threads together making it one giant quilt of love and family.

If you’re looking for a feel good story with a touch of romance and a bit of magic, then make sure to grab yourself a copy. ( )
