Publisher's Summary
Sadie Way Scott has been avoiding her family and hometown of Sugarberry Cove, Alabama, since she nearly drowned in the lake just outside her mother's B&B. Eight years later, Sadie is the host of a much-loved show about southern cooking and family, but despite her success, she wonders why she was saved. What is she supposed to do?

Sadie's sister, Leala Clare, is still haunted by the guilt she feels over the night her sister almost died. Now, at a crossroads in her marriage, Leala has everything she ever thought she wanted--so why is she so unhappy?

When their mother suffers a minor heart attack just before Sugarberry Cove's famous water lantern festival, the two sisters come home to run the inn while she recovers. It's the last place either of them wants to be, but with a little help from the inn's quirky guests, the sisters may come to terms with their strained relationships, accept the past, and rediscover a little lake magic.



My Review  

You know that feeling you get when you watch a cooking or home improvement show, or a Hallmark movie--where you can just let your guard down and find comfort in the story? That's the feeling I know I'm going to have when I read a Heather Webber novel. Plus, she adds a dash of magic realism that always makes me smile. The Lights of Sugarberry Cove is just as perfect as Webber's two previous novels I've loved Midnight at the Blackbird Café and South of the Buttonwood Tree but with a summertime spin. Dive into this one if you want a little lake magic in your life this summer.
