Amazon Rev: Blue Bishop has a knack for finding lost things. While growing up in charming small-town Buttonwood, Alabama, she’s happened across lost wallets, jewelry, pets, her wandering neighbor, and sometimes, trouble. No one is more surprised than Blue, however, when she comes across an abandoned newborn baby in the woods, just south of a very special buttonwood tree.

Sarah Grace Landreneau Fulton is at a crossroads. She has always tried so hard to do the right thing, but her own mother would disown her if she ever learned half of Sarah Grace’s secrets.

The unexpected discovery of the newborn baby girl will alter Blue’s and Sarah Grace’s lives forever. Both women must fight for what they truly want in life and for who they love. In doing so, they uncover long-held secrets that reveal exactly who they really are - and what they’re willing to sacrifice in the name of family.

I really enjoyed this book, with its resolution of long hidden problems, but the ending was almost a bit too much 'happily ever after' for me.… (meer)

I really enjoyed this book. First book I've read by this author but not the last!

Anna Kate arrives in Wicklow, Alabama to take over the Blackbird Cafe, which was owned by her grandmother, who has recently passed. In her grandmother's will, Anna Kate must stay for 60 days and tie up loose ends before moving back to New England and going to med school.

Anna Kate doesn't want to be in Wicklow and doesn't want to meet any of the townspeople. Her mother, Eden, has expressed her dislike of the town so Anna Kate arrives with this perception of Wicklow already in her mind. To further complicate matters, there are a bunch of bird-watchers camped out outside the cafe to hear the blackbirds sing. But they only sing for one hour every day - between midnight and one in the morning.

I enjoyed the characters in this book, including the parallel story of the blackbirds. This is a character-driven book. I was pulled in immediately and loved getting to know these characters.… (meer)
