This isn't technically chick lit, and it's not historical fiction. Can "garden" be a building? It may not fit. And since it only took me three hours to finish, that's all right with me.
Claire and Sydney Waverley's mother was whacked out and left them with their grandmother in Bascom, NC when they were small. In Bascom, the Waverley women are known for their "magical" cooking with the plants from their garden. And the apple tree produces fruit that gives people visions of the most important moment in their life.
Sydney runs away when shes 18, gets into trouble, and the book revolves around how both girls lives are turned around when Sydney and her young daughter move back to Bascom and live with Claire.
It was really cute and fun. I finished it in three hours (the plane ride to Utah). If you need a beach read or something light, I recommend this. She has another novel, the Sugar Queen. Her first novel was good enough I will pick up the second.
