The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern: A Novel

A heartwarming story that explores how love and healing can be found in unexpected places - and how a bit of magic in each can go a long way. When recently retired pharmacist Augusta Stern relocates to a Florida senior community, she unexpectedly encounters Irving Rivkin - the delivery boy from her father’s old pharmacy, and the man who broke her heart a lifetime ago. Back in 1920s Brooklyn, a teenage Augusta finds herself caught between her father’s trusted scientific formulas and the curious, unconventional remedies prepared by her great aunt Esther. In a desperate bid for clarity about her romance with Irving, Augusta impulsively uses Esther’s most potent elixir with disastrous consequences. Still haunted by her mistake 60 years later, Augusta finds herself with a second chance for self-discovery, forgiveness, and even love. Can she reclaim the magic of her youth and finally learn the truth about her past? It’s never too late for new beginnings.
