Praise for The Secret to Southern Charm

“The Secret to Southern Charm is a compelling, beautifully drawn tale of love, hope, and small-town secrets. The richly detailed backdrop of a charming coastal town and the struggles and joys of four generations of women solidifies Kristy Woodson Harvey’s spot as a rising star of Southern fiction.”

—Mary Alice Monroe, New York Times bestselling author of Beach House for Rent

“The characters will leap off the page and into your heart, and you’ll find yourself rooting for them so fervently, you’ll forget they’re not actually real. Kristy Woodson Harvey has delivered another masterpiece.… Let’s just say that this one had better have a sequel too, because I’m not ready to leave these charming ladies behind.”

—Kristin Harmel, international bestselling author of The Room on Rue Amélie

“Harvey’s growing fan base will find another great beach read in this second novel in her Peachtree Bluff trilogy.… Harvey is an up-and-coming Southern writer with staying power.”

—Booklist

Praise for Slightly South of Simple

“Kristy Woodson Harvey really knows how to tell a Southern tale. Every single time her stories unwind gently, like a soft wind in Georgia, then that wind catches you off guard and throws you into her characters’ tumultuous lives. I loved it.”

—Cathy Lamb, New York Times bestselling author

“My prediction is that writers come and writers go, but Kristy Woodson Harvey is here to stay. The warmth, wit, and wisdom of this novel pave her way into the exclusive sisterhood of Southern writers.”

—HuffPost

“With a charming, coastal Southern setting, Slightly South of Simple is a heartfelt story about the universal themes of love, loss, forgiveness, and family. I’m thrilled to hear that this book is part of a series and look forward to getting to know this cast of strong Southern women even better.”

—Deep South Magazine

Amelia MODERN LOVE

I FOUND OUT MY MARRIAGE was over the day my “Modern Love” piece appeared in the New York Times. The Modern Love piece about my thoroughly modern love with my husband, Thad, about our decision not to have children, about how we were choosing travel and wanderlust instead, living life on our own terms.
