A Certain Kind of Starlight

A Novel

By: Heather Webber

Narrated by: Hallie Ricardo, Stephanie Willis

In the face of hardship, two women learn how to rise up again under the bright side of the stars in A Certain Kind of Starlight, the next audiobook from USA Today bestselling author Heather Webber, "the queen of magical small-town charm" (Amy E. Reichert)

Everyone knows that Addie Fullbright can’t keep a secret. Yet, twelve years ago, as her best friend lay dying, she entrusted Addie with the biggest secret of all. One so shattering that Addie felt she had to leave her hometown of Starlight, Alabama, to keep from revealing a devastating truth to someone she cares for deeply. Now she’s living a lonely life, keeping everyone at a distance, not only to protect the secret but also her heart from the pain of losing someone else. But when her beloved aunt, the woman who helped raise her, gets a shocking diagnosis and asks her to come back to Starlight to help run the family bakery, Addie knows it’s finally time to go home again.

Tessa Jane Wingrove-Fullbright feels like she’s failing. She’s always been able to see the lighter side of life but lately darkness has descended. Her world is suddenly in shambles after a painful breakup, her favorite aunt’s unexpected health troubles, and because crushing expectations from the Wingrove side of her family are forcing her to keep secrets and make painful choices. When she’s called back to Starlight to help her aunt, she’s barely holding herself together and fears she’ll never find her way back to who she used to be.

Under the bright side of the stars, Addie and Tessa Jane come to see that magic can be found in trusting yourself, that falling apart is simply a chance to rise up again, stronger than ever, and that the heart usually knows the best path through the darkness.

characters

this author is phenemenol. Her characters and stories are so good. I love all her books so far

Another Great book taking place in the South.

I love these fanciful books. I have starlings all around my house and I love these stories about how protective and beautiful they are because most people think that they're bad words to have around and I've always loved them so I love her books and I love the story

Southern charm and family bonds

A little predictable and sappy, but sometimes that’s just what you need.
I love the bonds between the auntie and her girls. It has some “magic” and whimsy but it’s sweet and kind and leaves you feeling good in the end.

Captive

Love a book that allows me to work while listening and enjoy designing spaces for my clients. I am a total novice for happy endings of a good story!

Beautiful

Loved this beautifully sweet story of strong family bonds. I love a lot of the books by this author and this one did not disappoint!
