This was an enjoyable read about finding home and understanding that things most often happen for a reason. Mattie was raised all over the US. Her and her mother would move from place to place every few years and Mattie learned that somehow things always worked out. Now that her mother has passed, Mattie is in limbo and really doesn't feel a belonging anywhere. She heads to the only place that has ever been stable in her life, back other aunts house in Georgia. Her mothers funeral and will reading will take place and then she is out of there. But her mother still seems to have a hand in Mattie's life and has made some odd stipulations in her will in order for Mattie to get her inheritance. Frustrated, annoyed and angry that her mother did this, Mattie settles into life in Georgia while she checks these tasks off a list and stays put unlike her original plan. As her aunt knows, Lilith always had a reason for doing things and Mattie is now learning that there is a reason and lesson behind this all and just maybe her mother is showing her where she belongs. I really enjoyed this story, the lessons, the magic and the heartfelt characters. Thank you to the author, publisher and Wunderkind PR for the complementary novel. I look forward to reading her other book. This review is of my own opinion and accord.
