From the USA Today bestselling author of Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe comes Heather Webber's next charming novel, In the Middle of Hickory Lane!
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.
Cora Bee Hazelton has her hands full with volunteering, gardening, her job as a color consultant and designer, and just about anything she can do to keep her mind off her painful past, a past that has resulted in her holding most everyone at arm's length. The last thing she wants is to form close relationships only to have her heart broken yet again. But when she's injured, she has no choice other than to let people into her life and soon realizes it's going to be impossible to keep her heart safe—or her secrets hidden.
In the magical neighborhood garden in the middle of Hickory Lane, Emme and Cora Bee learn some hard truths about the past and themselves, the value of friends, family, and community, and most importantly, that true growth starts from within.

      Emme Wynn arrives in Sweetgrass, Alabama, the same day a body is discovered in a sinkhole off Hickory Lane. Emme sees Sweetgrass as an opportunity to connect with her paternal grandmother, Glory. The locals are skeptical of Emme's intentions, but big-hearted Glory welcomes Emme back into the family, introducing her to her cousin Cora Bee, who has the preternatural ability to see colors around people. A devastating breakup has shaken Cora Bee, and new arrival Jamie is determined to break through Cora Bee's defenses and remind her how special love can be. But everyone on Hickory Lane has something to hide, and their secrets are preventing them from finding true happiness. They must depend on the unbreakable bonds of family--and a little bit of magic--to move beyond their pasts. The latest from Webber (The Lights of Sugarberry Cove, 2021) features her trademark blend of family secrets, light mystery, and gentle southern magic with a romantic twist. It's a heartfelt story full of quirky characters and situations, wrapped up with a bittersweet happily ever after. Readers who enjoy Sarah Addison Allen and Karen White will feel right at home in Sweetgrass.
