We have just 3 months until Kristy Woodson Harvey launches her next bestseller with us! Buy your "ticket" (aka the book) via link in our bio, and we will see you at the Country Club of Salisbury this summer for the launch party to end all launch parties!
About the book: A HAPPIER LIFE mixes historical and contemporary fiction, which worked so well with Kristy's 9th novel, THE WEDDING VEIL. This time, versus Asheville, Kristy sets the actio in Beaufort, NC - and she describes the town she fell in love with as an adult beautifully within these pages.
Chapters alternate the perspectives of Keaton (present day) and her grandmother, Becks Saint James (1930s-1976).
Keaton has just arrived in Beaufort, heartbroken with a dog in tow, to clean out her family's ancestral home, left untouched for nearly 50 years since her grandparents mysteriously disappeared after a dinner party. The dining room table still bares evidence of that last meal, notes are left by the rotary phone, everything in the house is in place as it was left that night - yet no one truly knows how the evening ended for the Saint James'.
In Becks' chapters, she reflects on her life with her husband, Townsend, as she prepares to host what she knows will be her last "summer supper."
I love the element of intrigue Kristy added to this, her 11th novel. Did Becks and Townsend die in a car crash, or was their new neighbor to blame for something more sinister? What secrets will Keaton uncover as she packs away her family's treasures and meets the charming residents of Beaufort, who have longed for the Saint James home to be filled with life and laughter again?
This book inspired me to bake, got me journaling again, and was the first book I read cover-to-cover in the early days of 2024. I can't wait to pass on A HAPPIER LIFE to the residents and visitors of Salisbury that grace my bookstore, clambering for Kristy's next bestseller - what a perfect summer read.
