display_description
In Rochelle Alers' thoughtful, heartwarming series set on a picturesque North Carolina island, one woman's seemingly perfect life unravels—and a new chapter begins . . .
It's been almost a year since Leah Berkley Kent left her lavish Richmond home to spend two months on Coates Island, North Carolina. There she found friendship with two extraordinary women, Kayana and Cherie. Together they formed a summer book club, meeting weekly at the Seaside Café. Leah also found the courage to finally stand up to Alan, her domineering husband of twenty-eight years.
With her twin sons now grown, Leah decides to return to Coates Island again this summer. Alan's explosive reaction only convinces her that her marriage, and her old life, may be ending. But what comes next? Helping out at the Seaside Café, Leah grows closer to Kayana's widowed brother, Derrick. He knows what it's like to start over—he traded a Wall Street career for a beachfront house and a slower pace. Derrick is drawn to Leah, but wonders if she's truly ready to move on.
It'll take a summer filled with lazy beach walks, bold new horizons, and book club meetings rich with shared laughter and support, for Leah to find the answers she's been looking for . . .
Praise for The Inheritance
"The ambiance and flavor of New Orleans are on full display."
—RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
"A novel that resembles female bonding romance series like The Bride Quartet by Nora
Roberts. . . . Capitalizing on its assets: the sensuous Big Easy setting and the rarely encountered middle age romance."
—Kirkus Reviews
