The Porch Swing Prophecies
When burned-out Atlanta artist Emmaline Bishop inherits her grandmother's crumbling farmhouse in the sleepy town of Sweetgum Hollow, she returns only to fix it up and sell-nothing more. But the moment she steps onto the weather-worn porch, memories stir like dust in sunlight, and the porch swing her Gran once swore could "answer questions if you sit still long enough" starts to whisper truths Em hadn't planned to hear.
As she untangles her grief and reclaims her creative spirit, Em becomes entwined in the rhythms of the town and the lives of its unforgettable people: a widowed carpenter with quiet hands and a gentler heart, a caf owner who brews sass as strong as her coffee, a wise-beyond-her-years girl with a journal full of odd truths, and the hum of bees who might just know when you're lying.
Each chapter ends with a "porch swing prophecy"-a piece of down-home wisdom left behind by Gran Bea, who may be gone, but never far.
Told with warmth, humor, and aching honesty, The Porch Swing Prophecies is a feel-good Southern tale about coming home to yourself, the power of community, and the slow magic of front porches and second chances.
Perfect for fans of Fried Green Tomatoes, Where the Heart Is, and The Secret Life of Bees.
