The Magnolia Inn

This is a wonderful story of friendship and new beginnings with a romantic thread. But the women and their progress is the real gem here.

Told from both Clementine's and Maggie's points of view, you learn of their heartaches and failures. Also how a small town can be a place of healing and transformation.

I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.

A story about new friendships, a forgotten Book Club, and finding what you didn't know you needed. 

Welcome to Magnolia

Maggie is thirty-six, recently divorced and embarrassingly unemployed. With a bank account nearing zero she does the only thing she can think of: make a business proposition to her gorgeous and successful estranged mother. 

To Maggie’s utter surprise, her mother agrees. Any funds she can create off the sale of the dilapidated family inn on the island of Magnolia would be hers to invest. 

So Maggie packs her few belongings and heads off to Rhode Island to make her dreams come true. 

Clementine has been stuck in Magnolia her whole life. The moment her father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s she knew she could never leave. And it was unrealistic for her to rely on her older brother, Archer, who can't seem to outrun the ghosts of his past. 

So when Maggie blows into town, both Clementine and Archer find themselves intrigued by the new move-in.

When they stumble upon an old photograph of Maggie’s grandmother buried up in the attic, Maggie can’t help but be drawn to a woman she’s never met. In an attempt to feel closer to a family she never knew, a book club is revitalized.  

The Red Stilettos Book Club. 

What starts out as an act of desperation, soon becomes exactly what the women of Magnolia island were looking for, a sisterhood.
