What this book is about
The Waverly women of Bascom, North Carolina, have always been a little magical — their garden grows things that change people, and the apple tree throws its fruit at whoever most needs it. When Claire's troubled younger sister Sydney returns, the magic of the garden must reckon with real-world complications. A gentle, warmly magical novel with a quiet romance at its center.
