In the newest installment of USA TODAY bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey&;s Peachtree Bluff series, three generations of the Murphy women must come together when a hurricane threatens to destroy their hometown&;and the holiday season in the process.
When the Murphy women are in trouble, they always know they can turn to their mother Ansley. So when eldest daughter Caroline and her husband James announce that they are divorcing&;and fifteen-year-old daughter Vivi acts out in response&;Caroline, at her wits end, can&;t think of anything to do besides leave her with Ansley in Peachtree Bluff for the holidays. After all, how much trouble can one teenager get into on a tiny island?
Quite a lot, as it turns out.
When the &;storm of the century&; heads toward Peachtree Bluff, Vivi&;s recklessness forces her, along with Ansley and her husband Jack, to shelter in place during the worst hurricane Peachtree has ever seen. With no power, no provisions, and the water rising, the circumstances in Peachtree Bluff become dire very quickly&;and the Murphy sisters soon realize it&;s up to them to conduct a rescue mission.
With Caroline&;s boat the Starlite Sisters in tow, Sloane and Emerson set sail loaded with supplies. When they arrive, they find not only their family in need, but also an entire community desperate for help. Putting aside their own plans for December, they decide to stay in Peachtree, rebuilding their beloved town&;as well as their family&;just in time for the yuletide season.
In &;pitch perfect tones&; (Publishers Weekly) and written with her signature Southern charm, Kristy Woodson Harvey explores the magic of Christmas, the power of forgiveness, and the importance of family in a tale that reminds us that, no matter the circumstances, home is always where we belong&;especially during the holidays.
Industry Reviews
Praise for Christmas in Peachtree Bluff
"Not even the storm of the century and looming domestic troubles on the horizon can dim the lights of Kristy Woodson Harvey’s delightful Christmas in Peachtree Bluff. This, the fourth installment in her beloved Peachtree Bluff series, is as sweet as a candy cane, heartwarming as a cup of cocoa, and as endearing as the familiar sights and sounds of a small town Southern Christmas. It’s the kind of gift readers will unwrap with glee. I’m predicting reading and re-reading Christmas in Peachtree Bluff will quickly become a treasured holiday tradition."—Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of The Newcomer, Hello, Summer, and Sunset Beach
"Like authors Mary Kay Andrews and Mary Alice Monroe, Harvey offers what appears to be a simple beach read but expands to honor the forgiveness and hope possible with family and community support. She’s drawn likeable, realistic characters and placed them in the center of the kind of community in which the wrong coffee delivery leads to finding its rightful owner rather than a refund. Fans of the Peachtree Bluff trilogy will be happy to catch up with the Murphy sisters, and readers new to the Southern beach town and its residents will find themselves charmed and ready to find the earlier titles in the series."—Booklist
"Consider this the book equivalent of a warm and fuzzy pair of socks as readers get to spend the holiday season with the Murphy sisters in the fourth book in the beloved Peachtree Bluff series. We dare you not to wish you were a member of this family as you read about their attempts to come together to save their town as the storm of the century approaches."—E! Online
