A Magical Family, an Enchanting Town

 


Ella Dove, a middle child, has always felt out of place in her family of seven sisters. After her father’s death, with whom she was very close, she started running away and years later she hasn’t stopped, but now a disturbing dream has her returning to her home town of Dove Pond.


Ella is an internationally known baker with a large internet following. However, she has been having a disturbing dream and feels that she must return to Dove Pond to put things right. She is concerned about a rift between herself and her mentor Angela Stewart Harrington. Ella was accused of stealing a valuable cookbook from Angela. She knows she’s innocent, and she’d like to heal the breach. There’s also the problem of Angela’s grandson, Gray, her first love and heartbreak.


Angela has her own family problems. She wants to connect with her daughter Jules, who has never forgiven her for divorcing her father. The relationships are complex with plenty of meddling and secrets.


This was my first visit to Dove Pond, although this is book three in the series. The book is a little slow, but I enjoyed the pace and the visit to the enchanting area of Dove Pond. This was a story of homecoming and mending relationships. It was heartwarming and satisfying. I’ll be making more trips to this town and magical family.


Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for this review copy.
