Descrizione dell’editore
“Southern bestselling sensation” (Katie Couric Media) Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a “heartfelt and dramatic” (Lisa Scottoline, New York Times bestselling author) novel about mother-daughter relationships, small-town drama, and the unexpected strength that comes from leaning on a community of women when life gets turned upside down.
When Charlotte Sitterly’s husband is arrested for a white-collar crime, she and her daughter Iris are locked out of their house by the FBI and—what’s potentially even worse—thrust into the spotlight of @JuniperShoresSocialite, the town’s snarky anonymous Instagram account. Desperate and cut off from her bank accounts, Charlotte moves to a former beachfront bed-and-breakfast that’s home to a community of single mothers and draws plenty of gossip in the small coastal North Carolina town.
Charlotte and Iris find solace and are surprised by how much fun they’re having with the other families despite their circumstances. But when the women discover a secret link between them, it changes everything they thought they knew about the unconventional family they’ve created and leaves them wondering whether their coming together was a coincidence at all. Will the skeletons in the closets help Charlotte and Iris reclaim their place in the Juniper shores community—or shatter the sisterhood forever.
“Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Jennifer Weiner” (Country Living), Beach House Rules is a charming and uplifting exploration of the bonds of friendship, the true meaning of family, and reclaiming the power to reshape our own destiny.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Harvey (A Happier Life) serves up an arresting tale of women working together to solve their hardships. With "hunky investment guru" Bill Sitterly under investigation for fraud, his and his wife Charlotte's assets are seized. While Bill sits in jail, Charlotte and their 11-year-old daughter, Iris, are locked out of their sparkling new home in Juniper Shores, N.C. They check into thrice-widowed Alice Bailey's nearby "mommune," a former bed and breakfast that now hosts a handful of single mothers in varying circumstances. Believing that Bill is unjustly accused, Charlotte gets a job at a local insurance agency and sets out to clear her husband's name with the help of fellow mommune residents and Alice. Along the way, Alice tries to find the courage to date again and lose the "black widow" tag following her around town. Harvey keeps the twists and turns coming with her well-constructed plot, including a shocking development on the charges Bill faces. This first-rate tale is perfect for summer reading.
