What if the madness in your blood… was also your destiny?
Welcome to Jasper, North Carolina, a small mountain town that smells like rain and rumors — especially about the Farrow women, their beautiful flower farm 🌸, and a generational curse that dances just out of sight.

June Farrow has spent her whole life waiting.
Waiting for answers.
Waiting for the curse to catch up.
Waiting for something strange to begin.
And when it does?
It comes with whispers in the wind, the sound of wind chimes with no source, and a mysterious door that appears... then disappears... then opens. 🫣🚪✨

Here’s what you’re getting yourself into:

  • A haunting family mystery with roots deeper than the oldest tree in town 🌳
  • A headstrong heroine who refuses to surrender to fate 💪
  • A missing mother, cryptic clues, and time-bending secrets 🕵️‍♀️⏳

Why you’ll love this book:

  • It’s like Practical Magic meets The Time Traveler’s Wife ✨
  • Small-town charm + dark whispers + blooming fields = chef’s kiss 🌼⛅
  • You’ll want to highlight half the book — the writing is that beautiful 🖋️
  • It’s a puzzle box of fate, choice, and love that bends time and reality
  • You’ll cry. Then sigh. Then Google “how to break a generational curse gently”

Perfect if you’re into:

  • Witches without spells but heavy with magic 🕊️
  • Generational curses + cryptic letters 🧵✉️
  • That “door to another world” moment you secretly hope for every time you see a weird old building 🪞
  • Epic, aching romance that refuses to stay in one timeline ⏰❤️
  • Mystery, love, grief, and healing—wrapped in one unforgettable story

Warnings (aka emotional weather alert):

⚠️ Mild existential spirals
⚠️ Loss, memory, and emotional unraveling
⚠️ You may stare at random doors longer than usual

Final Thoughts:

The Unmaking of June Farrow is a love letter to the women who carry the weight of memory, the magic of choice, and the strength to rewrite their stories. 💌
It’s dreamy, haunting, mysterious, and utterly romantic — like wildflowers growing through cracks in time.

Step through the door.
Change your story.
Fall in love with June’s.

🌸⏳🪞✨❤️📖
