Summary
A legendary brat as a child, 27-year-old Josey Cirrini lives in her wealthy and domineering mother's North Carolina home, dreaming of travelling and Adam, their mailman, whom she secretly loves. When local town tramp Della Lee Baker hides out in Josey's closet, she uncovers Josey's sugar addiction and slowly forces Josey to face her demons and chase after her dreams--making new friends and maybe finding love along the way.
Critique
A charming and magical book that is impossible to put down. This multi-layered story is full of surprises and almost everyone gets a happy ending. A highly recommended and unforgettable read.
