A Cup of Silver Linings

Discover the "sometimes whimsical, often insightful, always absorbing" (Shelf Awareness) Dove Pond series with this novel that explores the magic in the tea leaves--from New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins.

Ava Dove--the sixth of the seven famed Dove sisters and owner of Ava Dove's Landscaping and Specialty Teas--is frantic.

Just as her new tearoom is about to open, her herbal teas have gone haywire. Suddenly, her sleep-inducing tea is startling her clients awake with vivid dreams, her romance-kindling tea is causing people to blurt out their darkest secrets, and her anti-anxiety tea is making them spend hours staring into mirrors. Ava is desperate for a remedy, but her search leads her into dangerous territory, as she is forced to face a dark secret she's been hiding for over a decade.

Meanwhile, successful architect Ellen Foster has arrived in Dove Pond to attend the funeral of her estranged daughter, Julie. Grieving deeply, Ellen is determined to fix up her daughter's ramshackle house, sell it, and then sweep her sixteen-year-old granddaughter, Kristen, off to a saner, calmer life. But Kristen has other plans. Desperate to stay with her friends in Dove Pond, she sets off on a quest she's avoided her whole life--to find her absent father in the hopes of winning her freedom from the grandmother she barely knows.

Together, Ava, Kristen, and Ellen embark on a reluctant but magical journey of healing, friendship, and family in a "cozy, big-hearted read" (Booklist) that will delight fans of Alice Hoffman, Kate Morton, and Sarah Addison Allen.
