A Constellation of Roses

Perfect for fans of Tell Me Three Things and The Astonishing Color of After, A Constellation of Roses is brimming with a magic all its own—lovable and flawed characters, an evocative setting, and friendships to treasure.

Ever since her troubled mother abandoned her, Trix McCabe has preferred to stay on the move.

But when she lands with her long-lost relatives, she finds out that the McCabe women have talents like her own that defy explanation: pies that cure all ills, palm-reading that never misses the mark, knowledge of secrets that have never been told.

Before long, Trix feels like she might finally have found somewhere she belongs. But when her past comes back to haunt her, she’ll have to decide whether to take a chance on this new life . . . or keep running from the one she’s always known.

More magic awaits in the stunning companion novel, The Deepest Roots, which Booklist called “a must-read” in a starred review!

• Emotional and Heartfelt: A lyrical, heartfelt story about forgiveness, the family we choose, and the courage it takes to plant roots and bloom.

“Asebedo unravels a beautiful tale of secrets and shame as Trix’s story gradually unfolds… A compelling exploration of what makes a family, how the past defines us, and the struggle to change.” - Booklist
