Review by Booklist Review

When she was 18 years old, Sadie Way Scott almost drowned. Local lore insists that she was saved by Lady Laurel, the guardian spirit of the lake, whose magic turned Sadie's hair a glittering silvery-white. After the accident, Sadie left Sugarberry Cove, leaving her mother Susannah and her sister Leala behind. Eight years later, the family reunites just in time for the town's annual lantern festival. Leala is having marital problems and her workaholic husband won't listen, Susannah has health and money issues, and Sadie isn't over her high school sweetheart, Will. As the festival nears, all three women are inspired to make peace with their pasts and look toward the promise of the future. Webber's latest features the quirky characters and small-town setting her fans have come to expect, along with a comforting story where everyone gets their happy ending, thanks to lake magic. The realistic family dynamic and well-drawn characters ground the story and provide a relatable backdrop for the town's supernatural goings-on. Readers who enjoy Karen White's blend of southern charm and gentle magic will savor their time in Sugarberry Cove.
