In their small North Carolina town, the Waverly's have always been considered "different" because of their special talents. Claire Waverly has a talent for food and runs a successful catering business. Her secret is the edible herbs and flowers she grows in her garden, which have a magical effect on the eater. Claire's cousin gives random gifts to people for no obvious reason, and the townspeople believe the apple tree in Claire's garden has special powers. Claire leads a simple life and is happy living alone, but her life is turned upside down when her long lost sister returns with a young daughter and no explanation for where she has been.
This is a sweet story, with quirky, charming characters. It's somewhat predictible, but that doesn't make the story any less enjoyable. Fans of Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic should enjoy this one.
