Alabama author Patti Callahan Henry tackles a mystery with ‘The Secret Book of Flora Lea’

By: Alec Harvey

Patti Callahan Henry is about to release her 18th book and she’s still a little nervous.

“I’ve got some jitters,” says Henry, who lives in Mountain Brook with her husband, Pat. “I guess if I don’t have them, it means I don’t care. … I’ve been alone with this story for a long time and, now, it will be out in the world.”

The world is already reacting to “The Secret Book of Flora Lea” in a positive way. It has been featured in Real Simple magazine and by Books-A-Million and the American Library Association, among others, and Kirkus calls it “an enchanting tribute to the power of storytelling” in its starred review.
