Book excerpt: By the New York Times–bestselling author of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood: “Full of Southern charm and unique characters . . . impossible to put down.” —Houston Chronicle “At first, Calla Lily Ponder appears to be just like any other young woman growing up in the small town of La Luna, La., where life is simple and Calla Lily is supported by a loving, tightly knit family and a colorful cast of locals. But after a series of hometown heartbreaks, Calla Lily sets out for New Orleans to attend a prestigious beauty academy with dreams of one day opening her own salon. Calla Lily soon learns that while the Big Easy offers a fresh start, adventures and exhilarating new friends, it also presents its own set of tragedies and setbacks . . . chock-full of Southern charm and sassy wisdom.” —Publishers Weekly “Wells weaves that magic spell again.” —New Orleans Times-Picayune “A novel full of miracles.” —Seattle Times “It’s hard not to fall in love with the people in this magical place, where love is as plentiful as the dancing, gumbo, and ice-cold Cokes . . . a perfect beach read about mothers and friends and sisters.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
