About this item
26-year-old Rachel Monroe has spent her whole life trying to keep a very unusual secret: she can make wishes come true. And sometimes the consequences are disastrous. So when Rachel accidentally grants an outlandish wish for the first time in years, she decides its time to leave her hometown - and her past - behind for good. . Rachel isnt on the road long before she runs out of gas in a town thats not on her map: Nowhere, North Carolina - also known as the town of "Lost and Found." In Nowhere, Rachel is taken in by a spit-fire old woman, Catch, who possesses a strange gift of her own: she can bind secrets by baking them into pies. Rachel also meets Catchs neighbor, Ashe, a Southern gentleman with a complicated past, who makes her want to believe in happily-ever-after for the first time in her life. . As she settles into the small town, Rachel hopes her own secrets will stay hidden, but wishes start piling up everywhere Rachel goes. When the consequences threaten to ruin everything shes begun to build in Nowhere, Rachel must come to terms with who she is and what she can do, or risk losing the people shes starting to love - and her chance at happiness - all over again.
