Arriving in the lakeside town of Good Hart, Michigan, Becky Thatcher--just turned forty years old with little to show for it--encounters eighty-year-old Mary Jackson, who has almost given up hope that someone will come along to carry on her legacy as the owner of The Very Cherry General Store.

For most of her eighty years, Mary Jackson has endured the steady invasion of tourists, influencers and real estate developers who have discovered the lakeside charm of Good Hart, Michigan, waiting patiently for the arrival of a stranger she's believed since childhood would one day carry on her legacy--the Very Cherry General Store.

As she works under Mary's wing for the summer and finds she fits into this quirky community of locals, she starts to believe that destiny could be real, and that it might have something very special in mind for Becky ...
