On my list of favorite authors is Kristy Woodson Harvey who has written Dear Carolina, and Lies and Other Acts of Love. You may have read my reviews of those two books, and you may have also read Kristy's guest post on this blog. Well, along with an action-packed touring schedule, she has been very busy behind the scenes writing the first book of a new series of books. SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF SIMPLE will be the first in The Peachtree Bluff series published by Gallery/Simon and Schuster, April 25, 2017. If it's anything like her others, I'm sure the story will be engaging and heartfelt. I'm delighted she has signed on to write a series.
Today is the publishers cover reveal, and it is, as her others were, gorgeous. The kind of cover I gravitate toward automatically. I think you'll agree!
To celebrate, Kristy is giving away a $100. Amazon gift card and several bundles of books on her blog.
That's a super sweet giveaway!
Kristy's new book is available for preorder on Amazon, at Barnes and Noble, Indiebound, through your local bookstore and everywhere else books are sold. I'll order mine from Bookworks, my favorite Indie!
"From the next “major voice in Southern fiction”
comes the first in an all-new series chronicling the journeys
of three sisters and their mother—and a secret from their past
that has the potential to tear them apart and reshape
their very definition of what it means to be a family."
~New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand)

Caroline Murphy swore she’d never set foot back in the small Southern town of Peachtree Bluff; she was a New York girl born and bred and the worst day of her life was when, in the wake of her father’s death, her mother selfishly forced her to move—during her senior year of high school, no less—back to that hick-infested rat trap where she'd spent her childhood summers. But now that her marriage to a New York high society heir has fallen apart in a very public, very embarrassing fashion, a pregnant Caroline decides to escape the gossipmongers with her nine-year-old daughter and head home to her mother, Ansley.Ansley has always put her three daughters first, especially when she found out that her late husband, despite what he had always promised, left her with next to nothing. Now the proud owner of a charming waterfront design business and finally standing on her own two feet, Ansley welcomes Caroline and her brood back with open arms. But when her second daughter Sloane, whose military husband is overseas, and youngest daughter and successful actress Emerson join the fray, Ansley begins to feel like the piece of herself she had finally found might be slipping from her grasp. Even more discomfiting, when someone from her past reappears in Ansley's life, the secret she’s harbored from her daughters their entire lives might finally be forced into the open.Exploring the powerful bonds between sisters and mothers and daughters, this engaging novel is filled with Southern charm, emotional drama, and plenty of heart.Go to Kristy's blog and enter the giveaway today, then share this blog post with your friends.
