Not heavy, but some difficult family issues were tackled in an interesting way. The switching POVs was handled well -- I don't always care for that; can seem like a short attention span problem. This was fairly seamless. And the magical component is so gentle, taken for granted by the characters, that it's hardly noticeable. But in some ways, that's pretty true, isn't it? This story is a great example of how important "setting" is in the story. Who doesn't want a magical Buttonwood Tree in their town? Who doesn't want to "hear" houses? (And for the record, I'd love to hear old houses tell me their story!) Besides the magical theme to the stories, there is heart and grit to the story as Blue and Sarah persevere to work through past wrongs and build their own path to happiness. Yes, Blue discovers a newborn under the Buttonwood Tree (with a button note stating the baby is meant for her to raise) but the story is also about a town, family history, and forgiveness. It's my first book by this author and I will definitely check her previous books out! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of this story. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

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. ( )
