From the author of Summer at Hideaway Key comes a sweeping new Southern women's fiction novel about forgiving the past one letter at a time...

A sweeping southern women's fiction novel about forgiving the past one letter at a time-from the author of When Never Comes.

A year ago, Dovie Larkin's life was shattered when her fiance committed suicide just weeks before their wedding. Now, plagued by guilt, she has become a fixture at the cemetery where William is buried, visiting his grave daily, waiting for answers she knows will never come.

Then one day, she sees an old woman whose grief mirrors her own. Fascinated, she watches the woman leave a letter on a nearby grave. Dovie ignores her conscience and reads the letter-a mother's plea for forgiveness to her dead daughter-and immediately needs to know the rest of the story.

As she delves deeper, a collection of letters from the cemetery's lost and found begins to unravel a decades-old mystery involving one of Charleston's wealthiest families. But even as Dovie seeks to answer questions about another woman's past-questions filled with deception, betrayal, and heartbreaking loss-she starts to discover the keys to love, forgiveness, and finally embracing the future...

Industry Reviews

Praise for Love, Alice

"Love, Alice is part romance and part mystery, but at its heart is a beautifully layered story about surviving tragedy and discovering new connections in surprising and unexpected ways. The emotional journeys of the three main characters are made more engrossing by the descriptive language of Ms. Davis's writing and by the Charleston setting that is as much a character as the living, breathing ones."--Karen White, New York Times bestselling author

"Love Alice is a masterfully told tale of secrets, lies, and regrets. Wrapped up with a good dollop of southern life, it is a powerful story about how families both hurt and heal one another. I loved every word!"--Barbara Claypole White, award-winning author of The Perfect Son

"There are few things as delicious as settling down to read a new Barbara Davis novel, and Love, Alice is every bit as intriguing and emotional a story as I'd anticipated. Heartfelt and beautifully written, Love Alice may be Barbara Davis's finest work yet."--Diane Chamberlain, USA Today bestselling author
