What Amazon Says:

In the small mountain town of Jasper, NC, June Farrow is waiting for fate to find her.  The Farrow women are known for their thriving flower farm - and the mysterious curse that has plagued their family line.  The whole town remembers the madness that led to Susanna Farrow's disappearance, leaving June to be raised by her grandmother and haunted by rumors.  It's been a year since June started seeing and hearing things that weren't there.  Fair wind chimes, a voice calling her name, and a mysterious door appearing out of nowhere-the signs of what June always knew was coming.  But June is determined to end the curse once and for l, even if she must sacrifice finding love and having a family of her own.  After her grandmother's death, June discovers a series of cryptic clues regarding her mother's decades-old disappearance, except they only lead to more questions.  But could the door she once assumed was a hallucination be the answer she's been searching for?  The next time it appears, June realizes she can touch it and walk past the threshold.  And when she does, she embarks on a journey that will not only change both the past and the future, but also uncover the lingering mysteries of her small town and entangle her heart in an epic star-crossed love.

This was a pretty good book.  I listened to it and it made a good audiobook.  There is decent character development, a mystery, and found family.  Satisfying ending.  This is not chick flick fiction - this has supernatural and paranormal elements to it - which is hard to tell by the cover.  I was left wondering why this "curse" started.  And I wish it was more about the generational circle than about the overall mystery and love story.  There is one other fault that it just a personal one for me, but I will not share it because it would be a spoiler.  (for my blog only - I hate when books travel back in time and not forward and then the characters stays there).
