"Like tea, a new Karen Hawkins book is always a good idea. A visit to Dove Pond, where the real magic lies in forgiveness and acceptance, is balm to my readerly soul. Write the next book quickly please!"

– KJ Dell'Antonia, New York Times bestselling author of Reese's Book Club pick, The Chicken Sisters

"Full of heart, A Cup of Silver Linings offers up the perfect blend of family, forgiveness, and healing. With quirky, lovable characters and abundant small-town Southern charm, I enjoyed every minute spent in Dove Pond, where life is truly magical."

– Heather Webber, USA Today bestselling author of Midnight at the Blackbird Café

"A Cup of Silver Linings, a novel of loss, love, and letting go, holds magic for the residents of Dove Pond and for readers who believe that sometimes miracles really do happen."

– Nancy Thayer, New York Times bestselling author of Family Reunion

“With an eccentric cast of characters that would make Fannie Flagg proud, Hawkins has written a charming mix of romance, light fantastical elements, and small-town fun…recommended for readers looking for a cozy, big-hearted read.”

– Booklist

"The beauty of Hawkins’ writing is that even when it moves into the magical––and rest assured that it does—the emotions of the characters are authentic. Every scene, no matter how far from daily reality, is rooted in kindness and friendship, the belief we can all be better, and the hope that starting over is possible. A Cup of Silver Linings is the perfect way to spend an afternoon, teacup in hand, dreaming about what could be."

– Manhattan Book Review

"The literary equivalent of warm custard or fuzzy socks... A Cup of Silver Linings is for readers who enjoy the warmth and Southern authenticity of Fannie Flagg novels mixed with a dollop of Sarah Addison Allen-style magical realism."

– The August Chronicle
