Publisher's Synopsis
People come to Miracle Springs, North Carolina, to seek relief from all kinds of pain (emotional, physical, and psychological). They hope the healing waters, five-star cuisine, and renowned resort and spa will cure their ills, but more often than not, a bookstore owner named Nora Pennington can do far more for them by prescribing the perfect book. Nora understands damaged people because she is also damaged. And when a stranger's secret leads to murder, a somewhat reluctant Nora and the plucky village baker form the Secret Book and Scone Society in order to rid Miracle of its blight. But rooting out evil is never a simple task. People have many faces, and in the meantime, Nora's book group takes on new members. The price? A secret. The reward? A comfort scone and the promise of true friendship. And perhaps, by the time the murderer is caught and the scales of justice are once again balanced, the person who ends up being healed after years of pain is Nora, herself.
