A magical tale of destiny and small-town charm. The summer read youâve been waiting for!
"Full of summertime delightâ¦and sweet, nostalgic charm, Famous in a Small Town is a beautiful reminder toâ¦fully embrace the magic that lives inside you." âHeather 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 sheâs believed since childhood would one day carry on her legacyâthe Very Cherry General Store. Like generations of Jackson women before her, Cherry Mary, as sheâs known locally, runs the community hubâpart post office, bakery and sandwich shopâand had almost given up hope that the mysterious prediction sheâd been told as a girl would come true and the store would have to pass toâ¦a man.
Becky Thatcher came to Good Hart with her ride-or-die BFF to forget that sheâs 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 Beckyâs memories of her own childhood holidays become, and the strange visions over the lake she was never sure were real. As she works under Maryâs 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 Beckyâ¦
