Aaah, that Southern charm. A story of friendship, love, and spirituality. Set in 1944 during World War II we are introduced to Dolly and Si, charming characters running a boarding establishment in their residence in the hopes that they don't have to lose their lovely home to the financial downfalls of the time. Sacrificing space and privacy they take to helping others. This leaves the story the ability to introduce us to a slew of unique and wonderful characters that we meet along the way. There is not much more I can say about the book and still be able to avoid spoilers. It's such a flowing read you find yourself at the end without even realizing. Quaint and beautiful. You'll discover yourself, on several occasion, with a semi-permanent smile on your face that you didn't know you were wearing.

Author Valerie Fraser Luesse's writing style is elegant and graceful, uncluttered of words that don't matter. Every single sentence takes you back into a time you might not have ever even experienced in real life but feel like you have. I can see myself revisiting, rereading this book in the near future.

Thanks to Bookish and author Valerie Fraser Luesse for win of this book. I received. I read. I reviewed this book honestly and voluntarily.
