***This night not only marked the end to the drought, but also the end to the long-held secret we'd kept hidden under the magnolias.***
Magnolia, South Carolina, 1980 Austin Foster is barely a teenager when her mama dies giving birth to twins, leaving her to pick up the pieces while holding her six siblings together and doing her best to stop her daddy from retreating into his personal darkness.
Scratching out a living on the family's tobacco farm is as tough as it gets. When a few random acts of kindness help to ease the Fosters' hardships, Austin finds herself relying upon some of Magnolia's most colorful citizens for friendship and more. But it's next to impossible to hide the truth about the goings-on at Nolia Farms, and Austin's desperate attempts to save face all but break her.
Just when it seems she might have something more waiting for her-with the son of a wealthy local family who she's crushed on for years-her father makes a choice that will crack wide-open the family's secrets and lead to a public reckoning. There are consequences for loving a boy like Vance Cumberland, but there is also freedom in the truth.
T. I. Lowe's gritty yet tender and uplifting tale reminds us that a great story can break your heart ... then heal it in the best possible way.

A little slow starting, but soon I didn't want to put it down. This is an emotional read dealing with lots of painful things like death and bi-polar. Really good themes of love and family (not just in bloodlines). A really important message about getting help and not hiding things. The romance was sweet.

I liked this book. It's a nice story set in the 1980s about Austin Foster who is trying to keep the challenges her family is facing behind closed doors and hold it together both in public and private. The book addresses some serious topics like mental illness and the power of church community. I would suggest this novel is suitable for teenagers and adults. The characters in the book are quite charming as is the rural backdrop of southern USA and the storyline involves a romance. I must say it took me a while to get into it at first but a few chapters in I could not put it down.
