National bestselling author Heather Webber has long been known for weaving stories that blend warmth, heart, and a touch of magic. From the beloved Midnight at the Blackbird Café to At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities, her novels are cozy, comforting celebrations of friendship, family, and community—stories that remind readers that even life’s detours can lead to something extraordinary. Her newest novel, At the Forget-Me-Not Library, continues that tradition, offering readers a tender and uplifting journey of rediscovery.
The story begins with Juliet Nightingale, a woman who has survived a lightning strike only to feel that something vital is missing from her life. In a spontaneous bid for renewal, she embarks on a solo summer road trip, hoping that the open road will help her find what her heart has lost. Meanwhile, Tallulah Byrd Mayfield, newly single and struggling to rebuild her life with her two daughters, finds herself back in her hometown of Forget-Me-Not, Alabama. Working at the local library—where each book seems to hold a spark of memory—Tallulah is learning to navigate change and embrace possibility.

When Juliet’s journey quite literally takes a detour that leads her straight into Tallulah’s world, the two women form an unexpected connection. Together, they uncover the quiet magic of friendship, healing, and the idea that happiness, even when misplaced, can always be found again.
Readers and reviewers alike have fallen under Webber’s spell once more. Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop, praises the novel: “Wow! Just wow! This is a beautiful book, warm and wonderful, worth savoring. This book will steal your heart then fill it up. I absolutely loved it!” Library Journal echoes the sentiment, calling it “a heartfelt, whimsical book of second chances, with memorable characters and a dash of magical realism.”
Webber, who lives in southwest Ohio, infuses her fiction with the same charm and compassion that color her life—filled with bird-watching, baking, crocheting, and family time (and more than a little coffee and tea). At the Forget-Me-Not Library is another shining example of her gift: transforming ordinary moments into stories of hope, belonging, and the gentle magic of starting over.
