The Cedar Key by Stephenia H. McGee

                                                                     Book Synopsis

       Could the key to Casey’s future be hidden in someone else’s past?

Casey Adams unexpectedly inherits an old Victorian house full of other people’s memories. Stuck in a quirky little Mississippi town, Casey’s hope for a fresh start died as soon she had to lay the grandmother she’d just met to rest.

But Grandma Ida carried secrets beyond the grave.

Before her death Ida carefully planned a trail of clues to help Casey unlock the Macintyre family secrets and finally explain why they abandoned her. But each of Ida’s letters will only come from Casey’s handsome—and often frustrating—new neighbor. As Casey pieces together the stories behind the objects filling her grandmother’s house, she embarks on a heart-stirring journey that rattles her foundations, ignites her faith, and leads her to a startling discovery that will reshape her future. But only if she can face the lies that have been slowly tearing her apart. 

My thoughts:

This the first book that I have read by Ms. McGee, I am a little embarrassed to admit but after finishing, The Cedar Key, I’m excited to read more of her books.  What I loved about this book was being captivated from the very beginning of the story of Casey Adams and her inheritance of an old Victorian house, the things she discovers and the healing it brings to her.

It’s a heartwarming, Contemporary story filled with loss, acceptance, love and unforgettable characters.  The Cedar Key is a book that you won’t want to put down once you start reading it.
