In the Southern town of Mystic Water, magic is always in the windâand in the ovens
Anna OâBrien inherited several gifts from her late Grandma Bea: culinary superpowers, a bakery in a charming Southern town, and a mysterious box with a note:
Open the box only when you need to. Youâll know exactly when you do, and youâll know what to do with it. I love you.
The night her presumed fiancÃĐ crushes her dreams, Anna opens the box and finds âmagic sugarâ inside, along with a recipe to bake âthe perfect man.â Encouraged by her best friend Lily (and maybe a wee bit too much rum), a heartbroken Anna sets out to do what she always does when sheâs feeling blue: bake.
She hardly believes her eyes the next morning when a manâa breathing and rather handsome manâis in her bakery and seems to know all her likes and dislikes, her quirks and preferences. Elijah is everything Anna dreamed and nothing she expected. Where did he come from? Is he real? And when he fashions his own ideas about what makes a good life, can she let him go?
Escape into this whimsical and enchanting tale of magical realism and the spellbinding power of following your dreams as Anna discovers the sweetest side of life.
