A Slice of
Courage Quiche

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Jennifer Moorman comes an uplifting story of courage, kindness, and the quiet magic that transforms ordinary lives in Mystic Water, Georgia.

Real estate agent Tessa Andrews believes she has her life all figured out—neatly organized into numbered lists designed to prevent bad decisions. But after eating a breakfast quiche and receiving a skeleton key to a long-forgotten mansion, a reckless impulse overtakes her.

When torrential rains flood Mystic Water, Tessa’s condo drowns beneath the rising water. In need of a temporary home, she moves into the empty apartment above the local diner owned by the Borellis. But when their prodigal son, travel journalist Paul Borelli, unexpectedly returns and claims the apartment, Tessa once again finds herself adrift.

Drawn to a neglected historic mansion and the mystery surrounding it, Tessa sets aside her logic, empties her savings account, and buys the crumbling estate with a promise to bring it back to life. Nearly everyone doubts her sanity—but along the way she discovers unexpected allies in an ancient Cherokee spear, a wandering mint plant, and a man learning to rebuild his own heart.

Filled with charm, courage, and a touch of Southern magic, A Slice of Courage Quiche is a tender tale about listening to your heart, finding home in unlikely places, and the transformative power of small acts of kindness.

I loved the newest installment in the magical realism series. Jennifer Moorman is one of my new favorite authors!! While I thought Tessa was a pain in the butt in the THE BAKER’S MAN, I adored her in this book. I immediately felt for her and her loss and she immediately gained a cheerleader.
