Publisher's summary

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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Forge.

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

Absolute Love!

I’m so sad this beautiful story has come to an end. I hope Ms. Webber is busy working on a new story. The Southern dialogue was pretty spot on. The characters were fun, loving and quirky. Ms. Webber’s stories always contain a bit of fantasy intwined with a down-to-Earth heartfelt plot. Love, love, love!

The loving relationships of main characters

It wasn’t quite believable for me that 2 characters were having the same experience of being raised by someone that took them on knowing they weren’t theirs and that Addie never knew while everyone else did. But it was a really nice story
