Amazon Editorial Review

After losing her teaching position at the local university, Mariah Moon will do anything to keep her gifted twelve-year-old daughter, Lindsay, in a prestigious private school -- which means moving in with her mother and grandmother in an apartment above The Owl & Moon Café.

When her mother, Allegra, is diagnosed with leukemia, Mariah rises to the challenge of running the café: mastering her mother's famous fudge and chatting up customers -- including a man who might just reawaken her heart. Meanwhile, Lindsay's controversial entry in a major national science contest creates a minor maelstrom in the cosseted Monterey Bay community. And Allegra, with one last great love affair in her, will revisit a man she loved so many years ago, and disclose the biggest secret of the Moon family: the identity of Mariah's father.

Will the Moon women recognize this as the moment to do away with their family history of dubiously fathered children, and learn to forgive others and themselves in order to move forward? In her poignant new novel, bestselling author Jo-Ann Mapson explores the complexities of love and family with the keen eye and stylistic grace that have made her books perennial favorites.

I bought this book for the Owlish Roundabout, I decided to read it befor I sent it off and I'm so pleased I did. This is not the style of book I would normally pick to read, I don't usually enjoy "romance" books. This is different it was very engaging with emotions ranging from LOL to shedding a few tears!

thank you for this owlish book, which sounds like a very enjoyable read, the stickers, post-it notes and owl-card, the chocolate and teas.
I hope you are feeling well again!
