Sometimes, to find yourself, you have to lose your way. Amanda Kingston is at a crossroads. A successful event planner in the bustling heart of New York City, she finds herself burned out and yearning for something more. Seeking a break from the chaos, Amanda retreats to the serene, sun-drenched beaches of Magnolia Key, a place where time seems to stand still and life's simple joys take center stage. She quickly finds herself entangled in the town's deeply rooted traditions—and in the lives of its colorful residents. At the heart of it all is the Magnolia Heritage Festival, a cherished celebration at risk of fading into memory without someone to breathe new life into it. Her plans for rest and relaxation are put on the back burner when she offers to help get the festival back on track. What she hadn’t counted on was her neighbor, the reclusive woodcarver Connor Dempsey, whose guarded heart and remarkable talent intrigue her. As Amanda's passion for planning the festival ignites, so does an unlikely friendship with Connor. That is until she makes a decision in an attempt to help Connor that turns out terribly wrong. Then she gets offered a dream job back in New York. A job she feels she needs to take to pay back a debt to her grandmother. Can the magic of the festival—and a little coastal charm—help them both heal from past wounds and discover a future neither of them imagined? Coastal Candlelight is a delightful journey of self-discovery, the power of community, and the wonder of finding unexpected love in the unlikeliest of places. Dive into this heartwarming story in the Magnolia Key series, where every sunset brings a promise of a new beginning.

Recounts the true story of an entrepreneurial woman who succeeded in a male-dominated industry in the twentieth century. What would you do with your last sixty dollars? If you were Patricia Murphy you’d turn it into a fortune by buying a rundown Brooklyn diner. On the cusp of the Great Depression, the diner became an overnight sensation, the first of nine popular Patricia Murphy’s Candlelight Restaurants that opened over the course of four decades in New York and Florida. Popovers and Candlelight recounts how Murphy bucked Mad Men–erasexism in a male-dominated field and created remarkable dining experiences with solid American fare, a talented staff, and eye-popping décor. Dripping in diamonds, she transcended ethnic prejudices to become a socialite and built a brand that sold fragrance as well as food. Mutinous siblings, a desperate manager, and a typhoid outbreak brought it all to an operatic end, but Marcia Biederman restores Murphy and her contributions to their proper place in women’s and culinary history. This book will delight readers with its rags-to-riches story and fascinating view of class, gender, ethnicity, and food culture during much of the twentieth century. “An impressive accomplishment on many counts: Biederman describes an important but forgotten chapter in mid-century restaurant history, portrays an outsize, Mildred Pierce–like personality, and gives a memorable sense of postwar, populuxe suburbia.” — Paul Freedman, author of Ten Restaurants That Changed America
