South of Sycamore

Blue Bishop has an amazing gift. She knows how to find anything that has gone missing—things, jewelry, pets… But sometimes she finds problems instead. That’s exactly what happens when Blue sees, in an old plane tree—rumored among local residents as a place of mysteries—a defenseless crying infant. Blue has always dreamed of having a child, but she definitely didn’t want it to appear this way. And now the whole town whispers about her find with suspicion.

At the same time, real estate agent Sarah Grace decides to buy the old Bishops’ house—only unexpectedly she gets pulled into a mysterious story about the infant and a Button tree, and she also encounters her first love, her man of dreams. Blue and Sarah are very different. But to find happiness, they will have to discover something common in each other.

“Magical realism at its very best.”
“Careful hints of magic, soft humor… perfect for fans of Sarah Addison Allen and Alice Hoffman.”
