"This is a contemporary coming-of-age story, with a sprinkling of magic, thatâs one of my most anticipated reads of the year." âEmily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author, in Elle Magazine
When Harlow Estrada is abruptly fired from her dream job and her boyfriend proves to be a jerk, her world turns upside down. She flees New York City to the one place she can always call homeâthe enchanted Hacienda Estrada.
The Estrada family farm in Mexico houses an abundance of charmed flowers cultivated by Harlowâs mother, sisters, aunt, and cousins. By harnessing the magic in these flowers, they can heal hearts, erase memories, interpret dreamsâbut not Harlow. So when her mother and aunt give her a special task involving the familyâs magic, she panics. How can she rise to the occasion when she is magicless? But maybe itâs not magic sheâs missing, but belief in herself. When she finally embraces her unique gifts and opens her heart to a handsome stranger, she discovers sheâs far more powerful than she imagined.
With unforeseen twists, romance, and a heavy sprinkle of magic, The Enchanted Hacienda is a captivating coming-of-age debut exploring identity, unconditional family love, and uncovering the magic within us all.
