Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen (2014)

After the death of her husband, Kate Pheris awakens from her grief just in time to avoid moving in with her domineering mother-in-law Cricket. Kate takes her free-spirited eight year old daughter Devlin on an unexpected road trip to Lost Lake, Georgia, a resort owned by her great-aunt Eby. Kate has fond memories of a magical month spent at the lake. When she arrives, however, Kate finds the resort in disrepair with Eby reluctantly planning to sell it to a developer. A cast of charming characters, a dash of magical realism, and the serenity of Lost Lake provide an enjoyable read that’s all about finding second chances.
