Girl Who Chased the Moon / Sarah Addison Allen 287 p.

Emily Benedict, orphan, comes to live with her giant 8-ft. grandfather in Mullaby, N.C. There she finds acceptance troublesome from the Coffey's, except for high school senior Win. Neighbor Julia Winterson, a classmate of Emily's mother Dulcie, befriends her. Julia's staying in town just long enough to turn her late father's BBQ Restaurant around before she returns to Baltimore to open Blue-eyed Girl Bakery. Meanwhile she bakes delightful cakes, always leaving the window open--only she knows why. There is history between Julia and Alexander Sawyer, now she gives him a cold shoulder. Emily keeps running into secrets, secrets about her mother that her mother never ever shared. Magic is the only explanation as wallpaper changes to suit Emily's mood, Sawyer's has the family gift--a gifted sense for sweet, and the night lights of Mullaby.
