Description

This time, the MacBrides are home to stay.

The Biscuit Witch
A Crossroads Café Novella
Book One of The MacBrides

Biscuit witches, Mama called them. She’d heard the term as a girl. She’d inherited that talent. My mother could cast spells on total strangers simply by setting a plate of her biscuits in front of them.  –Tal MacBride

Welcome back to the Crossroads Cove where new loves, old feuds, and poignant mysteries will challenge siblings Tal, Gabby, and Gus MacBride to fight for the home they lost and to discover just how important their family once was, and still is, to the proud people of the Appalachian highlands.  
Tallulah MacBride hasn’t been back to North Carolina since their parents’ tragic deaths, twenty years ago. But now, Tal heads to cousin Delta Whittlespoon’s famous Crossroads Café in the mountains above Asheville, hoping to find a safe hiding place for her young daughter, Eve. 
What she finds is Cousin Delta gone, the café in a biscuit crisis, and a Scotsman, who refuses to believe she’s passing through instead of “running from.” He believes she needs a knight in shining flannel.
When a pair of sinister private eyes show up, Tal’s troubles are just beginning.  
For Tal’s brother and sister—Gabby, the Pickle Queen, and Gus, the Kitchen Charmer—the next part of the journey will lead down forgotten roads and into beautiful but haunted legacies.

    Deborah Smith never fails to deliver a story with aw-shucks down-home charm peopled with characters who’ll come armed with biscuits, yarn or shotguns to defend their loved ones—whatever works. But “The Biscuit Witch” is more than another wonder-filled Southern Gothic tale by this talented author. It’s a story of fulfillment, and of finding your true place in the world. Since this is the first in a new series, I can’t wait for the rest! I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
