In this irresistible follow-up to her New York Times bestselling debut, Garden Spells, author Sarah Addison Allen tells the tale of a young woman whose family secretsâ€”and secret passionsâ€”are about to change her life forever.

Twenty-seven-year-old Josey Cirrini is sure of three things: winter in her North Carolina hometown is her favorite season, sheâ€™s a sorry excuse for a Southern belle, and sweets are best eaten in the privacy of her hidden closet. For while Josey has settled into an uneventful life in her motherâ€™s house, her one consolation is the stockpile of sugary treats and paperback romances she escapes to each nightâ€¦. Until she finds it harboring none other than local waitress Della Lee Baker, a tough-talking, tenderhearted woman who is one part nemesisâ€”and two parts fairy godmotherâ€¦

Fleeing a life of bad luck and big mistakes, Della Lee has decided Joseyâ€™s clandestine closet is the safest place to crash. In return sheâ€™s going to change Joseyâ€™s lifeâ€”because, clearly, it is not the closet of a happy woman. With Della Leeâ€™s tough love, Josey is soon forgoing pecan rolls and caramels, tapping into her startlingly keen feminine instincts, and finding her narrow existence quickly expanding.

Before long, Josey bonds with Chloe Finley, a young woman who makes the best sandwiches in town, is hounded by books that inexplicably appear whenever she needs them, andâ€”most amazing of allâ€”has a close connection to Joseyâ€™s longtime crush.

As little by little Josey dares to step outside herself, she discovers a world where the color red has astonishing power, passion can make eggs fry in their cartons, and romance can blossom at any timeâ€”even for her. It seems that Della Leeâ€™s work is done, and itâ€™s time for her to move on. But the truth about where sheâ€™s going, why she showed up in the first placeâ€”and what Chloe has to do with it allâ€”is about to add one more unexpected chapter to Joseyâ€™s fast-changing life.

Brimming with warmth, wit, and a sprinkling of magic, here is a spellbinding tale of friendship, loveâ€”and the enchanting possibilities of every new day.
