17-year-old Emily comes to the small town her mother was raised in shortly after her mother's death. She will be living with her grandfather in the room where her mother grew up, with wallpaper that changes with the inhabitants moods! What she finds when she gets to the small town is that her mother wasn't the same person in her childhood as she was as her mother, and the townspeople don't have very fond memories of her. She becomes friends with her neighbor Julia, and the teenage son of the family that her mother allegedly wronged.I love Sarah Addison Allen's books. They are so fun and whimsical. If you read Garden Spells or the Sugar Queen, you have to read this. It's really excellent, light summer fare with a little fairy tale touch.
