Blackbird Springs #0
The Memory Teashop
In a town where everyone knows your business and the bees spell out love advice, some summers rewrite your entire story.
Eighteen-year-old Junie Whitlow is ready to leave Blackbird Springs for good. Raised by her quirky, bee-loving family in a town where privacy is theoretical and romance is community entertainment, she's determined to trade sweet tea and small talk for a backpack and a one-way ticket out of Mississippi. College can wait, her heart's set on the world.
But when Junie takes a summer job at her aunt's Memory Tea Shop, where the whole town gathers for gossip, wisdom, and impossibly perfect tea blends, she doesn't expect the teas to stir more than memories... or for a traveler from halfway around the world to upend everything she thought she wanted.
Henry Darrow, on a gap year from Australia, walks into the shop looking for a quiet moment and finds something far more unexpected. A girl with honey in her hair, fire in her spirit, and a dream that echoes his own.
As blackberry blossoms bloom and the town watches their every move with invested delight, Junie and Henry fall into a first love that feels like magic. But with college acceptance letters arriving and Henry's visa expiring, August brings impossible choices and the kind of decisions that define who you become.
In a town where love stories become community property and everyone has opinions about your future, no one leaves Blackbird Springs unchanged.
A tender, nostalgic love story about memory, freedom, and the summer that changes everything—perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls and Sarah Addison Allen.
