NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this irresistible novel, Sarah Addison Allen, author of the bestsellingdebut, Garden Spells, tells the tale of a young woman whose family secrets—and secretpassions—are about to change her life forever.
Josey Cirrini is sure of three things:winter is her favorite season, she’s a sorry excuse for a Southern belle, and sweetsare best eaten in the privacy of her closet. For while Josey has settled into anuneventful life in her mother’s house, her one consolation is the stockpile of sugarytreats and paperback romances she escapes to each night. . . . Until she finds her closetharboring Della Lee Baker, a local waitress who is one part nemesis—and two partsfairy godmother. With Della Lee’s tough love, Josey’s narrow existence quickly even bonds with Chloe Finley, a young woman who is hounded by books that inexplicablyappear when she needs them—and who has a close connection to Josey’s longtime Josey is living in a world where the color red has startling powers, and passioncan make eggs fry in their cartons. And that’s just for starters.
Brimming withwarmth, wit, and a sprinkling of magic, here is a spellbinding tale of friendship,love—and the enchanting possibilities of every new day.
