USA Today and New York Times best-selling NC author Kristy Woodson Harvey will present her first holiday-themed novel, Christmas in Peachtree Bluff (Gallery/Simon & Schuster, October 2021) at Quail Ridge Books. Continuing the author’s Peachtree Bluff Series, this lovely novel gifts readers with the interlocking lives of the three Murphy sisters and their mother Ansley during what should be the most wonderful time of the year. In Peachtree Bluff, based on Beaufort, NC, where the author lives, oldest sister Caroline, distressed from her recent divorce, joins her siblings Emerson and Sloane in hopes of a peaceful holiday with her extended family. But her decision to bring her discontented teenage daughter Vivi leads to potential tragedy with gripping circumstances inspired by Hurricane Florence’s devastation in Beaufort.
