She's closer to 40 than 30, has lost her purpose, and no longer knows what to do with her life. Accepting a job at the retro diner in the small town of Portney seems like a great temporary solution. After all, the meatloaf is as legendary as the boss is sweet.But her future grows even more uncertain when a freak accident shatters her understanding of the world and leaves her with the magical ability to hear people's thoughts (fears, joys, secret kidnapping plans...), and mysterious government agents show up asking probing questions about an unsettling pendant left behind by her mother.Thanks to the local witches who take her under their wing, Melly discovers that reading minds isn't the curse she thinks it is, and true friendship comes in surprising shapes.Melly may not have come to Portney looking for magic, a found family, or a place to call home, but sometimes you find where you belong when you least expect it.The Magic of Meatloaf, book 1 in the new Midlife Magic on the Menu series, is set in the quaint, small beach town of Portney, Jessica Rosenberg's beloved magical world.
