A heartwarming Southern tale filled with family secrets, second chances, and a touch of magic.
Nestled in the small town of Wicklow, Alabama, the Blackbird Café is known for its mysterious pies—baked with love and a pinch of something special. When Anna Kate returns to settle her grandmother’s estate, she plans to stay only long enough to tie up loose ends. But as she becomes part of the tight-knit community, she discovers that the café—and the blackbirds that visit it—hold the key to her family’s past and her own healing.
In Midnight at the Blackbird Café, Heather Webber blends Southern charm, gentle magic, and heartfelt storytelling into a beautiful exploration of grief, belonging, and renewal. As Anna Kate reconnects with her roots, she finds that the café’s legendary blackbird pie can help people hear messages from lost loved ones—if they’re willing to listen.
With lyrical prose and vivid small-town atmosphere, Webber captures the spirit of community and the magic hidden in everyday life. The novel’s mix of whimsy, warmth, and emotional honesty makes it a perfect modern fairy tale for grown-ups.
Full of hope, humor, and healing, Midnight at the Blackbird Café reminds us that sometimes the sweetest endings begin with letting go.
