Inheriting Magic - by Jennifer Love Hewitt (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

With lessons on grief, love, and the incredible joy of parenting, Jennifer Love Hewitt's debut memoir shares wisdom learned from her late mother and shows her readers her real self--who can't be defined by a single label.

When Jennifer Love Hewitt lost her mother to cancer, everything changed. Overwhelmed by grief, she found a path through the heartache by embracing her mom's mission: Make ordinary days special and special occasions unforgettable.

"The everyday world wasn't magical. But mom made sure our little world was."
--Jennifer Love Hewitt

In the pages of Inheriting Magic, Jennifer recounts her journey, sharing memories, photographs, recipes, and the magic-making ethos of a self-proclaimed Holiday Junkie.

A heartfelt, candid chronicle that charts a course from sorrow to celebration, this unique memoir includes:

• Never-seen-before family photos and vintage snapshots.
• Jennifer's favorite family recipes, from her grandmother's chicken and dumplings to her husband's holiday cocktail.
• An explosion of festive images sure to inspire your decorating plans for Halloween, Christmas, Easter, birthdays, and a whole year's worth of holidays.
• Moon water, baskets of joy, glowing dinners, and other foolproof strategies for adding magic to your family's everyday routine.

Inheriting Magic is about how grief, being a mom of three, having a deep love for party planning, and being passionate about the holidays turned what could have been an ordinary life into something magical. Through it, Jennifer hopes to inspire all readers to add more love, light, and the making of core memories into their everyday lives.
