Welcome to Litsy!

Fabulous swag from author Kristy Woodson Harvey as part of her Chapters Tour.

This is a difficult book ton review (and to read.) TW for incest and child abuse, I almost gave up on it early on. But Price‘s prose is strong and he manages to make the protagonist, if not lovable, at least pitiable. You have to get all the way to the end to understand why Price is so relentless with details, yet it still leaves a darkness and ick factor that I didn‘t expect from him. Pick for the prose & voice; pan for the protagonist.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs and @peaKnit

Such a good family story wrapped in a mystery with a great cast of characters 🥰 Harvey's novels always make me want to jump in the pages and hang out everyone!

The book event in St Louis was great! Here I am with my daughters & Kristy Woodson Harvey, whose book launched this week. We had fun meeting Mary Kay Andrews, Kristin Harmel, and Patti Callahan Henry as well! Meg Walker & Ron Block were there also!

I‘ll finish this today. If I‘m not disturbed that is.
It‘s very good.

In St. Louis with my daughters to celebrate the publication of a A Happier Life. Excited to see all four Friends & Fiction authors!

I enjoyed this one!

I had been looking forward to this book for quite a while and devoured it in two sittings within 24 hours. A great family saga exploring 3 generations of the mother-daughter relationship, with mystery, a deep love story, and a new romance.

A house at the beach that her mother grew up in?

Keaton never knew about the house and never knew her grandparents.

What a great way to spend the summer cleaning and fixing up a house that has been left vacant since 1970.

A lovely, heartwarming read with great characters, wonderful descriptive writing, a mystery to solve, and Kristy‘s signature pull-you-in storytelling. 5/5
