SUMMARY:Book Launch: Heather Webber\, The Forget-Me-Not Library
DESCRIPTION:Join The Snail on the Wall as we welcome one of our favorite authors back to Huntsville: Heather Webber\, to celebrate her new novel\, The Forget-Me-Not Library\, a story about two women who alter the pages of each other’s story. \nThe event will be at The Snail on the Wall bookstore.  \nTickets are $29.00 and include a copy of The Forget-Me-Not Library. \nAbout The Forget-Me-Not Library:\nJuliet Nightingale is lucky to be alive. Months after a freak accident involving lightning\, she’s fully recovered but is left feeling that something is missing from her life. Impulsively\, she decides to take a solo summer road trip\, hoping that the journey will lead her down a path that will help her discover exactly what it is that she’s searching for. \nNewly single mom Tallulah Byrd Mayfield is hanging by a thread after her neat\, tidy world was completely undone when her husband decided that their marriage was over. Tallulah starts a new job at the Forget-Me-Not Library\, where old\, treasured memories can be found within the books—and where Lu must learn to adapt to the many changes thrown her way. \nWhen a road detour leads Juliet to Forget-Me-Not\, Alabama\, and straight into Tallulah’s life\, the two women soon discover there’s magic in between the pages of where you’ve been and where you still need to go. And that happiness\, even when lost\, can always be found again. \nAbout Heather Webber:\nHeather Webber is the national bestselling author of more than 30 novels—including Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe—and has been twice nominated for an Agatha Award. She loves to spend time with her family\, read\, drink too much coffee and tea\, birdwatch\, crochet\, watch cooking competitions and home improvement shows\, and bake. Heather lives in southwestern Ohio but writes beautifully about magical small towns in Alabama\, which are fictitious but feel all too real.
