Publisher Description
For readers of Elin Hilderbrand, Susannah Marren's A Palm Beach Wife is a delicious and irresistible commercial novel set among the high society galas and gossip of Palm Beach.
Amid the glamour and galas and parties of Palm Beach, Faith knows that image often counts as much if not more than reality. She glides effortlessly among the highest of the high society so perfectly that you would never suspect she wasn’t born to this. But it wasn’t always so; though she hides it well, Faith has fought hard for the wonderful life she has, for her loving, successful husband, for her daughter’s future.
In this town of secrets and gossip and rumors, Faith has kept a desperate grip on everything she holds so dear, built from so little. And yet even she—the only one who knows just how far she has to fall—never suspects from which direction, or how many directions all at once, betrayal will come.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Exploring a place where brand names, money, and gossip rule, Marren (Between the Tides) shows the importance of status for a woman in Palm Beach, Fla., and how easily a few dangerous secrets can take it all away. Faith and Edward are near the top of the Palm Beach social ladder, with everyone envious of their perfect marriage. Faith is proud of everything they've built, including her store, Vintage Tales. One night, at a charity ball, Edward admits he's lost all their money. All that's left is her store and their house, both in her name. When Edward relapses into an old drug addiction, it's up to Faith and her store to salvage their life and protect their daughter, all while she hides her husband's secrets and one of her own as long as she can. Although the story is sometimes heavy with detailed descriptions of clothes, accessories, and expensive items of decor, the mystery and intrigue will keep readers holding on until the shocking ending they won't see coming.
