Description

In the close-knit, vividly drawn town of Mulberry, Georgia, Lena McPherson has spent years caring for everyone but herself. At forty-five, weary of being the community’s indispensable problem-solver, she seeks the love and companionship her material success cannot provide—and finds them through an unexpected supernatural encounter. As Lena’s relationship with a mysterious ghost unsettles the boundaries between past and present, she begins a transformative journey toward emotional, physical, and spiritual fulfillment. Blending Southern storytelling, humor, folklore, and themes of community, desire, and self-discovery, the novel offers a richly atmospheric portrait of a woman reclaiming her own life.
