Summary
An Amazon Charts Bestseller.
A novel of secrets, memory, family, and forgiveness by the bestselling author of When Never Comes.
Lizzy Moon never wanted Moon Girl Farm. Eight years ago, she left the land that nine generations of gifted healers had tended, determined to distance herself from the whispers about her family’s strange legacy. But when her beloved grandmother Althea dies, Lizzy must return and face the tragedy still hanging over the farm’s withered lavender fields: the unsolved murders of two young girls, and the cruel accusations that followed Althea to her grave.
Lizzy wants nothing more than to sell the farm and return to her life in New York, until she discovers a journal Althea left for her - a Book of Remembrances meant to help Lizzy embrace her own special gifts. When she reconnects with Andrew Greyson, one of the few in town who believed in Althea’s innocence, she resolves to clear her grandmother’s name.
But to do so, she’ll have to decide if she can accept her legacy and whether to follow in the footsteps of all the Moon women who came before her.

A Mystery with a touch of Magic
A mystery with a touch of magic, this was how I saw this book. I had high hopes when I read the reviews, but felt that it fell short on several levels. It was enjoyable, and I did listen to the end, but I wouldn’t recommend as one of the best books I’ve read. It started slowly, and when the mystery became interesting, it was like the writer got bored and wanted to wrap it all up too quickly, it reminded me of a Scooby Doo episode from the seventies ( ages me ). The performance was not to my taste, very nasal and dull, it’s all subjective because we can’t all like the same things. But on the whole, I’d say, read the book and don’t buy the audible version, I had it on my kindle too & preferred that!

Will she? Won't she? Will she? Won't she?
First let me say I listened to this on Audible. I did enjoy it overall but found parts of the story too repetitive and sometimes annoying. I thought the narrator was too whiny at times for one of the particular characters, I found that really irksome I can tell you. But overall the story was a good one and enjoyable to listen to.

Very painful to get through
I managed to drag myself to the end of this book but it was a painful process. The main character is whiney and quite frankly annoying and the 'love story' is childish. By the half way point, I wanted to slap her for spouting so much silliness all the time. The 'mystery' side of the story was actually quite well concocted and unpredictable, but unfortunately there was so little progress for the first 90% of the book (making it VERY slow moving), I only JUST managed to hang in until the end where the the entire plot is unravelled during one conversation...
There are definitely redeeming factors in this book including some colourful characters, lovely descriptive paragraphs and occasional points of action and excitement, but the overall plot was WAY too slow to keep me hooked and the self-pitying attitude of the main character got pretty old, pretty quickly.

Lovely Story
It was a lovely story, gently told, good transitions between characters and the narration was clear. However by the end I wanted to slap someone. The lead character was whiny and coming across as pathetic. I only kept listening to hear the end of the story. A little less whining and I would have enjoyed it more.

bare with it, its worth it!
id been recommended this book so wanted to finish it but I really struggled with the narrator, so difficult to listen to, all breathy and slow, for the first time ever I sped up the book a little bit to 1.15 and that made it more bearable. by the time I got a few chapters in I was hooked and barely noticed the irritating narration.
the story is beautiful, turned in ways I didn't expect in places. don't let the narration stop you pushing through It does get better.

Couldn't stop listening.
Loved this story so much. Not a typical choice for me but enjoyed it so much I've gone on to another by the same author (When Never Comes) which is also great.
My only criticism is with the narrator, a female, who puts on a stupid gruff voice for all male characters. You get used to it though.

A little formulaic and angst-ridden
It’s a good concept, but one wonders why a good herbalist should be considered a witch. And why magic is assumed. Yes, someone is psychic and another has a physical “gift”, but I was puzzled as to why these women were so different and alone and needed to set up barriers. It all seems so overblown. However, it was a readable listen (if that’s a thing!) and some nice descriptive narrative.

Great story, hard to listen to
Barbara Davis is a great author. I love how she tells a story. I think that reading this book is much more enjoyable than listening to though, because the narrator pretty much whispers the story. It is so hard to concentrate on what is going on in the story because the whispering is so annoying.

Great story but...
I loved this book but I had a hard time getting used to the narrators nasally and whispery voice. I initially thought it would pick up after the prolong...but not the case. If the story itself wasn't so good, I would've traded it in.

Lovely book, narration spoils it.
I ended up buying a copy of this book and reading it. The narration makes listening to it tedious. The narrator uses a weird whisper and that added to her slightly nasal voice makes listening impossible. Her voice really detracts from the beautiful story and is distracting.

Chance of Predictability 100%
Nothing good to say. Contrived, so already-done it pained me to get through the audiobook. Characters-no character. Plot-so thin it ripped many times. Reading-agonizingly overacted. If I wanted a cheesy romance I would’ve Looked for an old paperback with a long-haired, bare chested guy on the front. This was just that bad.

Great fun story!
I love these kinds of books! Where though light-hearted, they convey an ironic sense of depth, and sometimes even wisdom to the reader. This was one of those! While quite a bit of the story is predictable. There’s enough substance to keep the guesses going-as far as the “who-dunnit” part!
