"Full of summertime delight...and sweet, nostalgic charm, Famous in a
Small Town is a beautiful reminder to...fully embrace the magic that
lives inside you." --Heather Webber, USA TODAY bestselling author of
Midnight at the Blackbird Café
For most of her eighty years, Mary Jackson has endured the steady
invasion of tourists, influencers and real estate developers who have
discovered the lakeside charm of Good Hart, Michigan, waiting patiently
for the arrival of a stranger she's believed since childhood would one
day carry on her legacy--the Very Cherry General Store. Like generations
of Jackson women before her, Cherry Mary, as she's known locally, runs
the community hub--part post office, bakery and sandwich shop--and had
almost given up hope that the mysterious prediction she'd been told as a
girl would come true and the store would have to pass to...a man.
Becky Thatcher came to Good Hart with her ride-or-die BFF to forget that
she's just turned forty with nothing to show for it. Ending up at the
general store with Mary is admittedly not the beach vacation she
expected, but the more the feisty octogenarian talks about destiny, the
stronger Becky's memories of her own childhood holidays become, and the
strange visions over the lake she was never sure were real. As she works
under Mary's wing for the summer and finds she fits into this quirky
community of locals, she starts to believe that destiny could be real,
and that it might have something very special in mind for Becky...
Bursting with memorable characters and small-town lore, the
enchanting new novel** from the bestselling author of The Clover
Girls is a magical story about the family you're born with, and the
one you choose.
