Book Spotlight & Giveaway: The Secret to Southern Charm by Kristy Woodson Harvey

In just a little less than 2 weeks, The Secret to Southern Charm,
the latest book by Kristy Woodson Harvey comes out and I’m
super excited about this one. This is the sequel to her book, Slightly South of Simple – which I loved!!!
I’ll be reading this book in the coming days and then posting my review on publication day, April 3rd!

Because
this book is sequel, and you really should read the first book before reading this latest book, and
because Kristy Woodson Harvey is so awesome, she is allowing me to give away both books to one lucky reader. See giveaway details below!!!   

In the meantime, I’ve got all sorts of good stuff here to get you ready for this latest book, including early praise of the book and some cute videos of Kristy describing her book.

Summary:

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.

Harvey’s signature warmth and wit make this a charming and poignant
story of first loves, missed opportunities, and second chances and
proves that she is “the next major voice in Southern fiction” (Elin
Hilderbrand, New York Times bestselling author).
