eather Webber, author of
Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe
and
South of the Buttonwood Tree
, brings fans another heartwarming read in
The Lights of Sugarberry Cove
. Its lead is Sadie Way Scott, who came close to drowning (she died but was brought back to life) in the lake outside her mother's B & B eight years before. She has avoided going home to Sugarberry Cove, Alabama ever since.
N
ow she hosts a very popular show, human-interest pieces about Southern cooking, on her YouTube channel,
A Southern Hankerin'
. Her viewership spans the globe and she travels constantly. She's finishing one video when her older sister, Leala Clare, calls to say that their mother has had a minor heart attack. Since Sugarberry Cove's famous water lantern festival, is about to start, both sisters are needed to run the inn while their mother rests.
O
f course, you can guess where this is going. Sadie is unhappy and misses her family. Leala's beloved husband has turned into a workaholic, barely spending time with their small son Tucker. A little lake magic is needed to bring them all back together again and open their hearts - to each other and those around them - and that's what Webber delivers.
