This was a very cozy & magical found family story. Yet it also hit hard on themes of grief & loneliness. Basie is immortal. His mother was too, but she chooses to end her life unexpectedly & Basie can't cope. He sells his family home, wanting to escape the small town, but can't seem to leave once newcomer Kit buys the house. Even with the harder subject matter, this book was a warm hug, filled with a lovely community plus gardening & baking galore
