About this listen
In her latest enchanting novel, New York Times best-selling author Sarah Addison Allen invites you to a quirky little Southern town with more magic than a full Carolina moon. Here two very different women discover how to find their place in the world - no matter how out of place they feel. Emily Benedict came to Mullaby, North Carolina, hoping to solve at least some of the riddles surrounding her mother’s life. Such as, why did Dulcie Shelby leave her hometown so suddenly? And why did she vow never to return? But the moment Emily enters the house where her mother grew up and meets the grandfather she never knew - a reclusive, real-life gentle giant - she realizes that mysteries aren’t solved in Mullaby, they’re a way of life: Here are rooms where the wallpaper changes to suit your mood. Unexplained lights skip across the yard at midnight. And a neighbor bakes hope in the form of cakes.
Everyone in Mullaby adores Julia Winterson’s cakes - which is a good thing, because Julia can’t seem to stop baking them. She offers them to satisfy the town’s sweet tooth but also in the hope of rekindling the love she fears might be lost forever. Flour, eggs, milk, and sugar...Baking is the only language the proud but vulnerable Julia has to communicate what is truly in her heart. But is it enough to call back to her those she’s hurt in the past?
Can a hummingbird cake really bring back a lost love? Is there really a ghost dancing in Emily’s backyard? The answers are never what you expect. But in this town of lovable misfits, the unexpected fits right in.

A Delightfully Charming Story.
I absolutely adored this adorable story, as I am a huge fan of Rebecca Lownen's captivating narratives. Once again, she managed to weave a tale that drew me in from the very beginning. The way she narrated the story was nothing short of amazing!
What made this book even more special for me was the striking sense of familiarity that I felt while reading. With my name being Julia, my grandma named Emily, and even my dad's birthday being mentioned in the book, I couldn't help but feel an incredible connection to the characters.
The heartwarming bond between Julia and Emily was portrayed beautifully, adding an extra layer of sweetness to the already enchanting plot. And let's not forget the touch of magic sprinkled throughout the pages - it truly added that extra touch of whimsy!
All in all, this story is an absolute gem that left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling. Rebecca Lownen has once again succeeded in delivering a delightful and personalized reading experience. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a heartwarming tale with a sprinkle of magic.
