by Kristy Woodson Harvey
"Southern bestselling sensation" (Katie Couric Media) Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a "heartfelt and dramatic" (Lisa Scottoline, New York Times bestselling author) novel about mother-daughter relationships, small-town drama, and the unexpected strength that comes from leaning on a community of women when life gets turned upside down.
When Charlotte Sitterly's husband is arrested for a white-collar crime, she and her daughter Iris are locked out of their house by the FBI and—what's potentially even worse—thrust into the spotlight of @JuniperShoresSocialite, the town's snarky anonymous Instagram account. Desperate and cut off from her bank accounts, Charlotte moves to a former beachfront bed-and-breakfast that's home to a community of single mothers and draws plenty of gossip in the small coastal North Carolina town.
Charlotte and Iris find solace and are surprised by how much fun they're having with the other families despite their circumstances. But when the women discover a secret link between them, it changes everything they thought they knew about the unconventional family they've created and leaves them wondering whether their coming together was a coincidence at all. Will the skeletons in the closets help Charlotte and Iris reclaim their place in the Juniper shores community—or shatter the sisterhood forever.
"Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Jennifer Weiner" (Country Living), Beach House Rules is a charming and uplifting exploration of the bonds of friendship, the true meaning of family, and reclaiming the power to reshape our own destiny.

It's the heartfelt and dramatic story of Charlotte and Iris Sitterly, a mother and daughter who find themselves struggling at a crossroads in their lives. They join a group of single mothers, forming a remarkable "mommune," and through the power of friendship and love, they persevere and even triumph as a family, solving a mystery along the way. Take this book to the beach and you won't stop turning the pages!" ―Lisa Scottoline, New York Times bestselling author of The Unraveling of Julia
