The Secret to Southern Charm


I am really pleased to review my friend, Kristy Woodson Harvey's new book, The Secret to Southern Charm, a sequel to her latest novel in the Peachtree Bluff series.  Admittedly I am a lover of design magazines and not much of a pleasure reader, but it has always been on my bucket list to become more of a reader.  This novel, as well as her previous three others, have made it easy for me to fall in love with having a book at the ready that I can enjoy and totally get lost in.


This book is about an interior designer mother, her three grown daughters, and the family secrets that have the potential to change their lives.  I love all the references to design that Kristy sites.  She is masterful at creating characters with so much detail that you literally experience the sights, smells, feelings and sounds of their coastal community beach town.

"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)."

I have known Kristy and her mother, Beth, through their award winning blog "Design Chic" for years now and have loved watching her success grow as an 'up and coming' southern author.

This video best describes the book, as relayed by Kristy herself, whom you are sure to fall in love with.


This is a great Mother's Day gift, girlfriend or designer-friend gift or beach read.
Order yours today!

Enjoy,

A great beach read



I was so thrilled to receive an advance copy of Slightly South of Simple by my friend Kristy Woodson Harvey.  I have known Kristy and her mother Beth through their design blog, Design Chic, for years and have loved watching Kristy blossom as an author, and an award winning one at that! This is her third novel and a really great read.  I flew through her other two books: Dear Carolina and Lies and Other Acts of Love; both engaging stories of strong women that you will finish in one sitting....they're that good.

What I love about these stories is that they are both directly and indirectly related to Interior Design.  
The main character in Slightly South of Simple, Ansley, is an interior designer and a widower of seventeen years who raises three extremely different daughters. Secrets are revealed that will change their lives.  The innuendos and references to the design world are fun and the tales of these girls are truly entertaining.

"Exploring the powerful bonds between sisters and mothers and daughters, this engaging novel is filled with Southern charm, emotional drama, and plenty of heart."

The book launches April 25th and I hope you will support Kristy and order her book here.


Here's a darling video of Kristy explaining her new book.

Congratulations my friend, and can't wait to celebrate the arrival of more books in the future.

Enjoy!
