Synopsis (Goodreads):
I’m just an ordinary, middle-aged woman, and my life is falling apart…
When did I become such a cliché? I’m divorced, working a crappy job, living on next to nothing, and wondering how it all went so wrong.

Then it goes even more wrong. My grown daughter turns up after not speaking to me for two years, with stunning news of her own, and to cap it off, I’m summoned to a tiny, isolated hamlet in northern New York called Haigton Crossing, where my mother has lived for decades.

Haigton Crossing looks like a throw back to another time. For such a small place, it is stuffed full of secrets. The people there are different, including the town’s doctor, Benedict Marcus. And Haigton Crossing is way, way too small to host a murder….
Thoughts on Crossroads Magic: There's a lot going on here and, well, I'm here for it. Anna is a middle-aged, divorced woman with adult children, a crappy job, and an ex who can pounds rocks because I really don't like what he did to her to drive her to the point she's at (frankly, I'm hoping VERY HARD that he gets what's coming to him down the road because his actions were SUPER NOT COOL and I'm a big fan of karma.)

So. Anna's in a low point, her daughter shows up after a couple years of estrangement, and Anna gets called to the small town (not even a town, really, more like a hamlet or something even smaller) her mother lived in to deal with her sudden death. With Ghaliya (her daughter) in tow, she sets out to see what needs to be done.

As it turns out, Haigton Crossing is a odd place inhabited by colorful characters. As Anna attempts to investigate her mother's death, she comes face to face with a world she didn't know existed. Or maybe she did know, but didn't realize because her mother was smack-dab in the middle of it and some of that had to have impressed on Anna a little. Regardless, her eyes are opened in a big way and everything changes for her pretty quickly.

A small (but not necessarily as close-knit as you might think) town, a little magic, a mystery Anna is determined to uncover, a daughter who needs support, a doctor who plays his cards close to the vest, and a lady who is discovering who she is when she's called to Haigton Crossing and has the world open up around her. *thumbs up*
