Synopsis
At age seventy-two, Emma Hanley has finally made a plan to get out of small-town Palmetto, South Carolina, and travel the globe with her husband. But when he dies suddenly, just before their departure, she's taken up with the problems of her grown children. Her once free-spirited daughter, Dora, turns to compulsive shopping and a controlling husband, hoping to blot out her wayward past. Her son, Bobby, still lives with her, struggling with the illness that robbed him of his childhood promise. But then Dora's old flame Jake Carey returns to Palmetto with a broken heart and a gift for gardening, and soon the town is filled with mysterious, potent botanicals and resurgent memories. Before long, Jake and his group of helpers begin to unearth the secret s that have divided the Hanleys for decades.

    Great quality, perfect condition, worth the asking price (if not more) and looks great! The seller shipped all the patterns I purchased with great care to the packing and also ensuring it wouldn’t/couldn’t be damaged unless with malicious intent! The seller is also super fast at replying to any messages sent, and I couldn’t be more adamant when I tell you that “This Shop is Fabulous & so is the Seller!” Obviously it’s a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ recommendation from me 😉☺️

    My Seller package my Kwik Sew Pattern K4267 very well; shipped out quickly; provided excellent communication throughout the process; and it arrived in perfect condition. This pattern was in fact an uncut pattern as indicated in the listing. The Teatime Accessories (Mug Case, Tea Bag Case & Mug Cozy) patterns will make lovely gifts for my family and friends. #1 Seller.
