Wildwood Whispers — Willa Reece

"A witchy story full of found family, lush nature, and small-town secrets.” -- Hester Fox

"A magical, romantic tale about our essential connections to nature and to each other."  -- Sarah Addison Allen, New York Times bestselling author

Step into a world of hope, fate, and folk magic in this bewitching debut when a young woman travels to a sleepy southern town in the Appalachian Mountains to honor her best friend. 
Mel Smith's life is shattered after the sudden death of her best friend, Sarah Ross. In an effort to fulfill a final promise to Sarah and find herself again, Mel travels to an idyllic small town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains. But Morgan's Gap is more than she ever expected.

There are secrets that call to Mel, from a salvaged remedy book filled with the magic of simple mountain traditions to the connection she feels to the Ross homestead and the wilderness around it. 

With every taste of sweet honey and tart blackberries, the wildwood twines further into Mel's broken heart. But a threat lingers in the woods -- one that may have something to do with Sarah's untimely death and has now set its sights on Mel. 

The wildwood is whispering. It has secrets to reveal -- if you're willing to listen . . .
