Josey is twenty-seven, and there are three things she is sure of, her favourite season is winter in her North Carolina hometown, she's a sorry excuse for a Southern belle and she loves to eat sweets in the privacy of her closet. One night she finds Della Lee Baker harbouring in her closet. Della Lee is a local waitress, and she's a tough-talking, tender-hearted woman who is one part nemesis and two parts fairy godmother...
A bit sickly sweet and no depth to the characters. Most believable part was the magically appearing books (I'm sure that happens to me)!
