A tree that gives out buttons, with words of wisdom, when asked what should you do about a situation? How can you not find that charming? And this book will have you spell bound by its charm from the first chapter! The entire town is covered with a kind of fairy magic, so when a baby appears under the tree with a note saying to give it to Blue, no one doubts that that is what is supposed to be. But not quite everyone, as there are a few hold outs from the magic. As they try to force the baby away from Blue and to someone else, the judge in the case starts to hear from the entire town about just why the 'curse' on Blue and her family might just be a total falsehood, and she is the perfect person to raise the baby. While you might guess the identity of the baby's mother pretty quickly, it's very much like watching a TV show and wanting to see how long it takes the town to figure it out! In fact, this would be a charming Lifetime or Hallmark channel movie, and I hope they grab it! You'll love this book as a lovely Summer read, perfect for reading in spurts as you can on the beach or by the pool! Though you may try to find yourself reading it all at one time!
USA Today bestselling author Heather Webber's South of the Buttonwood Tree is a captivating blend of magical realism, heartwarming romance, and small-town Southern charm.
Synopsis:
Blue Bishop has a knack for finding lost things. While growing up in charming small-town Buttonwood, Alabama, she’s happened across lost wallets, jewelry, pets, her wandering neighbor, and sometimes, trouble. No one is more surprised than Blue, however, when she comes across an abandoned newborn baby in the woods, just south of a very special buttonwood tree.
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.
