Cornelia Southern — Charms _top_

Whether you are a hiker looking for the solitude of Big A, a foodie hunting for the perfect meat-and-three, or a history buff tracing the rails of the old apple empire, Cornelia welcomes you. Come for the apples, but stay for the charm. And when you leave, you will find yourself looking in the rearview mirror at that smiling water tower, already planning your return trip to the foothills of Georgia.

Her charms were also a shield. People trusted Cornelia, and sometimes they trusted her with more than she could comfortably carry. A young woman named Lila, raw from a breakup, once came to Cornelia in the small hours demanding to be told what to do next.

The next morning Lila found herself arranging the front room and, eventually, arranging a life that was kinder to her own heart. Cornelia’s talent was in lowering the altitude of crises so that breathing became possible again. Cornelia Southern Charms
