Storm in the Tea Leaves

Some families keep their secrets in locked drawers. In Elderbeck, they keep them in the tea leaves.When Olivia Montgomery's marriage falls apart, the only place left to go is the village she swore she'd never return to — a place where the old ways never quite died out, and the women who practice them see far more than they ever say.Emily Cruikshank has been reading the future in this village for longer than anyone can remember, and she's not finished yet. Morag Stephenson has carried a thirty-year secret about a death nobody ever properly explained — and the tea leaves are telling her it won't stay buried much longer. And somewhere between old rivalries, older magic, and a family who have never forgiven Elderbeck for what happened generations ago, Olivia begins to realise that coming home was never going to be simple.As the past resurfaces and the storm finally breaks, Olivia learns that the greatest secrets were never hidden in the leaves at all. They were hidden in the people who read them.Set between the folklore-steeped hills of Northumberland and the hoodoo traditions of the American South, A Storm in the Tea Leaves weaves village mystery, old magic, and family secrets into a story readers won't want to put down.Some stories are inherited. Others are stitched together.
