Sophia's Magic Beans — D.V. Stone

Calliope Novak's candy store made it through the shutdowns, but she still struggles with everyday costs. She juggles chores, work, and making time for Sophia—her six-year-old. Personal life? Non-existent. Luke O'Brian confronts his boss and mentor after discovering his law firm's involvement with a crooked politician and is reminded of the non-disclosure agreement he'd signed. He can't break it without evidence—evidence that he can't access after he's escorted out of the building by security. Devastated, he reluctantly returns to his hometown to regroup. Lake Unami in Northern New Jersey is a magical place. Rainbows and unexplained coincidences seem more normal than not. Guardian angels, bookstore owners, and an endearing cast of characters all come together to bring happiness and love to Calliope, Sophia, and Luke.
