Dive into “Beach House Rules” by Kristy Woodson Harvey
“Southern bestselling sensation” (Katie Couric Media) Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a delightfully moving new novel about a mother-daughter duo learning to lean on their community of women—and each other—after their world is turned upside down.
In her latest captivating novel, Kristy Woodson Harvey invites readers into a compelling narrative with “Beach House Rules.” This heartwarming and poignant story follows Charlotte Sitterly, whose seemingly perfect life crumbles when her husband is arrested for a white-collar crime. Overnight, Charlotte and her daughter, Iris, find themselves locked out of their home by the FBI and, perhaps even more daunting, thrust into the merciless spotlight of @JuniperShoresSocialite, the town’s notoriously snarky anonymous Instagram account. Cut off from her bank accounts and reeling from the sudden upheaval, Charlotte accepts an offer to stay at a charming beachfront former bed-and-breakfast. This unique haven is home to a vibrant community of single mothers, a place that, despite drawing plenty of local gossip in the small coastal North Carolina town, offers an unexpected refuge.
Amidst their challenging circumstances, Charlotte and Iris find surprising solace and joy with the other families at the beachfront community. They discover a newfound sense of belonging and even fun within this unconventional household. However, their journey takes an unforeseen turn when the women uncover a secret link between them. This revelation shatters everything they thought they knew about the family they’ve created, leaving them to wonder if their coming together was a mere coincidence or part of a larger, intertwined destiny. Will the secrets hidden within the “mommune” closets help Charlotte and Iris reclaim their place in the Juniper Shores community and restore their dignity, or will these revelations threaten to shatter the bonds of their newfound sisterhood forever?
“Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Jennifer Weiner” (Country Living), Beach House Rules is more than just a beach read. It is a charming and insightful exploration of the enduring joy of female friendship, the profound true meaning of family—both blood and chosen—and the empowering journey of reclaiming one’s destiny. Kristy Woodson Harvey masterfully weaves a tale of resilience, community, and the transformative power of women supporting each other through life’s most challenging storms. Prepare to be swept away by this beautiful story set against the enchanting backdrop of coastal North Carolina.
