Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog. I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!
Goodreads: The Secret to Southern Charm by Kristy Woodson Harvey
Blurb: Leaving fans “practically [begging] for a sequel” (Bookpage), critically acclaimed author Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with the second novel in her beloved Peachtree Bluff series, featuring a trio of sisters and their mother who discover a truth that will change not only the way they see themselves, but also how they fit together as a family.
After finding out her military husband is missing in action, middle sister Sloane’s world crumbles as her worst nightmare comes true. She can barely climb out of bed, much less summon the strength to be the parent her children deserve.
Her mother, Ansley, provides a much-needed respite as she puts her personal life on hold to help Sloane and her grandchildren wade through their new grief-stricken lives. But between caring for her own aging mother, her daughters, and her grandchildren, Ansley’s private worry is that secrets from her past will come to light.
But when Sloane’s sisters, Caroline and Emerson, remind Sloane that no matter what, she promised her husband she would carry on for their young sons, Sloane finds the support and courage she needs to chase her biggest dreams—and face her deepest fears. Taking a cue from her middle daughter, Ansley takes her own leap of faith and realizes that, after all this time, she might finally be able to have it all.
Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: I read the first book in this series back in 2024 and couldn't wait to read the next book. So I bought it - and then promptly put it aside and forgot about it. With the temperatures warming up it looks like the perfect time to pull this one off the shelf.
That's a good one to post, I think I would like to read this one. As things heat up here - literally - I will be in reading so much more. That and puzzles.
ReplyDeleteI like this author, but haven't read the first book.

This is the perfect time of year for a book like this. I hope the sequel is as good as the first one was.
