Secrets over Sweet Tea
Secrets over Sweet Tea is a story that reminds us of the power of friendship, honesty, and an open heart. In Franklin, Tennessee, few of the people Scarlett Jo Newberry encounters are as pristine as they appear when attending her husband’s church in their Sunday best. Scarlett Jo knows that given a little time, most everyone will eventually share what’s in their hearts, and a few parishioners in particular have caught her eye. For Grace Shepherd, life has become all about surviving and controlling what small things she can. Zach Craig is focused on escape. But covering up problems doesn’t solve them, and soon both of them must face their truths. As they break and then begin to heal, Grace and Zach start to see the power of openness and faith in friendship. Scarlett Jo, the bubbly woman they both admire, must also take steps to trust and heal. Jones has written a heartfelt and inspirational tale of friendship and faith, filled with tears and laughs. Readers will absolutely delight in her sassy southern way of reminding us what matters. --Carolyn Richard
