The Sparrow Sisters: A Novel

Suspicion and rumor threaten the future for three unique sisters in a seaside town in this "haunting, magical, modern-day fairytale" (Sarah Addison Allen). "If you're looking for a read a la Elin Hilderbrand with a touch of magic, look no further than The Sparrow Sisters, Ellen Herrick's wicked and romantic debut." —Sarah Jio, New York Times and USA Today–bestselling author The Sparrow Sisters are as tightly woven into the New England seaside town of Granite Point as the wild sweet peas that climb the stone walls along the harbor. Sorrel, Nettie and Patience are as colorful as the beach plums on the dunes and as mysterious as the fog that rolls into town at dusk. When a new doctor settles into Granite Point, he brings with him a mystery so compelling that town healer Patience is drawn to love him even as she struggles to mend him. But her herbs and tinctures are believed to be implicated in a local tragedy, Granite Point is consumed by a long-buried fear—and its three-hundred-year-old history resurfaces as a modern-day witch hunt threatens. The plants and flowers, fruit trees, and high hedges begin to wither and die, and the entire town begins to fail: fishermen return to the harbor empty-handed, and blight descends on the old elms that line the lanes. It seems as if Patience and her town are lost until the women of Granite Point band together to save the Sparrows. As they gather, drawing strength from each other, will they be able to turn the tide and return life to Granite Point? "A delightfully intriguing debut, gracefully paced and skillfully crafted. Evocative to the last page." —Susan Messner, author of Secrets of a Charmed Life
