26-year-old Rachel
Monroe has spent her whole life trying to keep a very unusual secret: she can
make wishes come true. And sometimes the consequences are disastrous. So when
Rachel accidentally grants an outlandish wish for the first time in years, she decides
it’s time to leave her hometown―and her past―behind for good.
Rachel isn’t on the road long before she runs out
of gas in a town that’s not on her map: Nowhere, North Carolina―also known as
the town of “Lost and Found.” In Nowhere, Rachel is taken in by a spit-fire old
woman, Catch, who possesses a strange gift of her own: she can bind secrets by
baking them into pies. Rachel also meets Catch’s neighbor, Ashe, a Southern
gentleman with a complicated past, who makes her want to believe in happily-ever-after
for the first time in her life.
As she settles into the small town, Rachel hopes her own secrets will
stay hidden, but wishes start piling up everywhere Rachel goes. When the
consequences threaten to ruin everything she’s begun to build in Nowhere, Rachel
must come to terms with who she is and what she can do, or risk losing the
people she’s starting to love―and her chance at happiness―all over again.
