The Peach Keeper

*****
I love Sarah Addison Allen.  I love the bitter and the sweet of her stories.  The Peach Keeper is another light and lovely story.  Her heroines are always strong and always quirky and I love that.   I love the sprinkling of  supernatural weaved into the story.  This story centers around the restoration of the Blue Ridge Madam.  Willa Jackson's ancestors once owned and lived in the Madam until financial ruin forced them out.  Socialite and former classmate Paxton Osgood is in charge of the restoration.  During the restoration a secret is unearthed under the lone peach tree at the Madam.  This secret changes everything.  The story is about friendship, loyalty and love.  I can't wait for Allen's next story.
