The Necessity of Lavender Tea

“In the world of magical realism, Jennifer Moorman is an important new voice. She is a sensitive, engaging, quirky, and soulful storyteller. Her characters speak their truths only to inspire us, the reader, to embrace and respect our own true gifts. As a lifelong fan of Alice Hoffman, I am adding Jennifer to a short list of writers who can carry the torch forward to a new generation.”

“The Necessity of Lavender Tea has the delicate magical allure and heartwarming storyline that make a truly memorable coming-of-age classic. In this inspiring tale, Jennifer Moorman takes us on Kate Muir’s tender journey through profound loss and budding love, and guides her to trust in the transforming power of her choices when she’s faced with a troubling vision. Readers looking for a vibrant splash of Southern charm will fall in love with Moorman’s vividly painted Mystic Water and the wise, whispering nature and compelling characters who inhabit it.”
