Part of Peachtree Bluff
First published 2021
Fifteen-year-old Vivi Murphy is already furious about her parents' divorce when her mother Caroline ships her off to Peachtree Bluff to spend the holidays with her grandmother Ansley and Ansley's husband Jack. The plan was for everyone to leave town before Christmas on a long-awaited trip. Vivi's recklessness changes that. Her choices force the three of them to stay put as the worst hurricane the island has ever seen makes landfall. The power goes out. Supplies run low. Water climbs toward the doors. Back on the mainland, Caroline and her sisters understand what they have to do. The bridges are closed and no road or flight can get them in, so they board Caroline's boat, The Starlite Sisters, and head straight for the storm. The Murphy women have always leaned on Ansley in a crisis. This time, Ansley needs them. Set in the small coastal Georgia town that anchors Kristy Woodson Harvey's New York Times bestselling series, this fourth installment moves between a grandmother and granddaughter riding out a disaster and the sisters racing to reach them, threading a story about forgiveness, divorce, and what it actually means to show up for your family.
