Set in the magical small town of Mystic Water in the 1950s South, this enchanting magical realism romance from USA TODAY bestselling author Jennifer Moorman tells the story of first love, family expectations, and a young woman burdened with the gift-and curse-of seeing the future.
Like most teenagers coming of age in the 1950s, sixteen-year-old Kate Muir longs for rock and roll, friendship, and a sense of belonging. But Kate isn't like other girls in her Southern town. She can see what's coming-visions of heartbreak, loss, and lives altered before they unfold. The only way to quiet her premonitions is with lavender tea, the one remedy that keeps her extraordinary ability under control.
When tragedy shakes Mystic Water, Kate's carefully managed world begins to unravel. Then she meets a young man from the town's most prominent family, and what begins as friendship quickly deepens into first love. For the first time, Kate imagines a future shaped by choice instead of fate.
But when a devastating vision threatens the fragile life she's beginning to build, Kate must decide: obey the rules that have kept her safe or risk changing the future to save someone's life.
A heartfelt Southern coming-of-age novel woven with romance, family, and small-town charm, The Necessity of Lavender Tea invites readers into a world where destiny isn't fixed and love may be the bravest act of all.
