friends discover that love--and family--can be found in
unconventional ways in this timely, moving novel from the USA TODAY
bestselling author of the "beautifully Southern, evocative
Peachtree Bluff series" (Kristin Harmel, internationally
bestselling author of The Winemaker's Wife). Recently separated
Amelia Saxton, a dedicated journalist, never expected that
uncovering the biggest story of her career would become deeply
personal. But when she discovers that a cluster of embryos
belonging to her childhood friend Parker and his late wife Greer
have been deemed "abandoned," she's put in the unenviable position
of telling Parker--and dredging up old wounds in the process.
Parker has been unable to move forward since the loss of his
beloved wife three years ago. He has all but forgotten about the
frozen embryos, but once Amelia reveals her discovery, he knows
that if he ever wants to get a part of Greer back, he'll need to
accept his fate as a single father and find a surrogate. Each
dealing with their own private griefs, Parker and Amelia slowly
begin to find solace in one another as they navigate an uncertain
future against the backdrop of the pristine waters of their
childhood home, Cape Carolina. The journey of self-discovery leads
them to an unforgettable and life-changing lesson: Family--the one
you're born into and the one you choose--is always closer than you
think. From "the next major voice in Southern fiction" (Elin
Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Under the
Southern Sky is a fresh and unforgettable exploration of love,
friendship, and the unbreakable ties that bind.

"the next major voice in Southern fiction" (Elin Hilderbrand) and
the bestselling author of the Peachtree Bluff series comes an
odd-couple tale of friendship that asks just how much our past
choices define our happiness. It's summertime on the North Carolina
coast and the livin' is easy. Unless, that is, you've just lost
your mother to cancer, your sister to her extremist husband, and
your husband to his executive assistant. Meet Gray Howard. Right
when Gray could use a serious infusion of good karma in her life,
she inadvertently gets a stranger, Diana Harrington, fired from her
job at the local pharmacy. Diana Harrington's summer isn't off to
the greatest start either: Hours before losing her job, she broke
up with her boyfriend and moved out of their shared house with only
a worn-out Impala for a bed. Lucky for her, Gray has an empty guest
house and a very guilty conscience. With Gray's kindness, Diana's
tide begins to turn. But when her first love returns, every secret
from her past seems to resurface all at once. And, as Gray begins
to blaze a new trail, she discovers, with Diana's help, that what
she envisioned as her perfect life may not be what she wants at
all. In her warmest, wisest novel yet, Kristy Woodson Harvey
delivers a discerning portrait of modern womanhood through two
vastly different lenses. Feels Like Falling is a beach bag
essential for Harvey fans--and for a new generation of readers.
The newest installment of the New York Times bestselling Peachtree
Bluff series follows three generations of Murphy women as they come
together to face a hurricane that threatens their hometown--and the
holiday season--in this "book equivalent of a warm and fuzzy pair
of socks" (E! Online). When the Murphy women are in trouble, they
always know they can turn to their mother, Ansley. So when eldest
daughter Caroline and her husband announce they are divorcing--and
fifteen-year-old daughter Vivi acts out in response--Caroline, at
her wits end, can't think of anything to do besides leave her with
Ansley in Peachtree Bluff for the holidays. After all, how much
trouble can one teenager get into on a tiny island? Quite a lot, as
it turns out. As the "storm of the century" heads toward Peachtree
Bluff, Ansley and her husband, Jack, with Vivi in tow, are grateful
they're planning to leave for the trip of a lifetime. But Vivi's
recklessness forces the trio to shelter in place during the worst
hurricane Peachtree has ever seen. With no power, no provisions,
and the water rising, the circumstances become dire very
quickly...and the Murphy sisters soon realize it's up to them to
conduct a rescue mission. With the bridges closed and no way to
access Peachtree Bluff by land or air, they set sail on Caroline's
boat, The Starlite Sisters, determined to rebuild their beloved
town--and their family. In "pitch perfect tones" (Publishers
Weekly) and written with her signature Southern charm, New York
Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey explores the magic
of Christmas, the power of forgiveness, and the importance of
family in a tale that reminds us that, no matter the circumstances,
home is always where we belong--especially during the holidays.
The internationally bestselling Peachtree Bluff series concludes
with this "deliciously authentic Southern tale of family and the
often messy, complex relationships between sisters, mothers, and
daughters" (Susan Boyer, USA TODAY bestselling author). With the
man of her dreams back in her life and all three of her daughters
happy, Ansley Murphy should be content. But she can't help but feel
like it's all a little too good to be true. Her youngest daughter,
actress Emerson, is recently engaged and has just landed the role
of a lifetime. She seemingly has the world by the tail and yet
something she can't quite put her finger on is worrying her--and it
has nothing to do with her recent health scare. When two new women
arrive in Peachtree Bluff--one who has the potential to wreck
Ansley's happiness and one who could tear Emerson's world
apart--everything is put in perspective. And after secrets that
were never meant to be told come to light, the powerful bond
between the Murphy sisters and their mother comes crumbling down,
testing their devotion to each other and forcing them to evaluate
the meaning of family. "Kristy Woodson Harvey has done it
again....The Southern Side of Paradise is full of humor, charm, and
family" (Lauren K. Denton, USA TODAY bestselling author) and is the
ultimate satisfying beach read.
A NATIONAL BESTSELLER The New York Times bestselling author of
Under the Southern Sky and the Peachtree Bluff series brings "her
signature wit, charm, and heart" (Woman's World) to this sweeping
new novel following four women across generations, bound by a
beautiful wedding veil and a connection to the famous Vanderbilt
family. Four women. One family heirloom. A secret connection that
will change their lives--and history as they know it. Present Day:
Julia Baxter's wedding veil, bequeathed to her great-grandmother by
a mysterious woman on a train in the 1930s, has passed through
generations of her family as a symbol of a happy marriage. But on
the morning of her wedding day, something tells her that even the
veil's good luck isn't enough to make her marriage last forever.
Overwhelmed and panicked, she escapes to the Virgin Islands to
clear her head. Meanwhile, her grandmother Babs is also feeling
shaken. Still grieving the death of her beloved husband, she
decides to move out of the house they once shared and into a
retirement community. Though she hopes it's a new beginning, she
does not expect to run into an old flame, dredging up the same
complicated emotions she felt a lifetime ago. 1914: Socialite Edith
Vanderbilt is struggling to manage the luxurious Biltmore Estate
after the untimely death of her cherished husband. With 250 rooms
to oversee and an entire village dependent on her family to stay
afloat, Edith is determined to uphold the Vanderbilt legacy--and
prepare her free-spirited daughter Cornelia to inherit it--in spite
of her family's deteriorating financial situation. But Cornelia has
dreams of her own. Asheville, North Carolina has always been her
safe haven away from the prying eyes of the press, but as she
explores more of the rapidly changing world around her, she's torn
between upholding tradition and pursuing the exciting future that
lies beyond Biltmore's gilded gates. In the vein of Therese Anne
Fowler's A Well-Behaved Woman and Jennifer Robson's The Gown, The
Wedding Veil brings to vivid life a group of remarkable women
forging their own paths--and explores the mystery of a national
heirloom lost to time.
