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! ( ) PhyllisReads | Nov 17, 2022 | 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. (  )1  murderbydeath | Sep 25, 2022 | 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.
