Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe by Heather Webber

In a small town in Alabama there is a cafe and near the cafe are trees, and in those trees rest blackbirds that only come out for an hour at midnight. In the birding world, this is a big deal but the town has always known about them and have come to accept the magic of the birds and the miracle found in a slice of Zee's pie at the Blackbird Cafe. Zee has passed away and her granddaughter has come to help out at the cafe before going onto medical school. The daily pie eaters are not happy about the shift in the universe and need the dreams the pie brings them each night. On top of all of this is a secret about paternity and a deep-seated family feud that is tearing the town apart. Love, grief, friendship, and an uncovered secret may have her staying longer than she anticipated. If you are looking for a break from all those political or murderous thrillers this is your slice of pie. Sweet, heartwarming and full of people following their heart and a bit of friendly Southern small-town magic.
