The Secret to Hummingbird Cake

Summary

Southern charm, hilarity, heart-wrenching emotion, and the remarkable bond of friendship.

Carrigan, Ella Rae, and Laine have been friends since kindergarten…since the day Ella Rae beat up a boy who tried to pick on Laine. They all still live in the small town of Bon Dieu Falls, Louisiana, and they’ve been through everything together, from a State Softball Championship to Carrigan’s elopement at seventeen. And Laine is still trying to keep the other two out of trouble.

But when cancer threatens to rip the trio apart, their world spins in a way they’ve never known before. How deep do the bonds of friendship go? Through it all, they just may discover the secret to the divine taste of hummingbird cake—and the secret to a friendship that never ends.
