The Lights of Sugarberry Cove written by: Heather Webber
narrated by: Hallie Ricardo, & Stephanie Willis rating: loved
Sadie Way Scott nearly drowned outside the B&B she grew up in 8 years ago.Since then she has been avoiding her family and her hometown. She has found success via an internet southern cooking show, but she still wonders what the purpose behind her survival is.
Leala Clare is Sadie's sister and she is plagued by the night of her sister's almost demise. Now her own life is teetering on the edge, and she can't figure out how she can be happy.
Brought together by their mother's minor heart attack days before Sugarberry Cove's famous water lantern festival, these sisters have to face each other, their pasts, and their futures together.
I have been raving about Heather Webber all summer, but she really writes books that feel like a soft landing and a warm hug. Her books tackle difficult issues, for instance in this one she touches on guilt, life trajectory and purpose, true love, and loyalty. But you just feel like you are rocking on a porch in a hammock on a perfect summer night being swept up in the story.
I love the sprinkles of magical realism and the power of wishes throughout this one and of course the smattering of romance I'm a fan of as well.
