Susan Kelly
(By Accident) at Bove
Preceded by four successful novels of women's friendships, "By Accident" follows a year in the life of a woman after the accidental death of her teenage son. Concerned with randomness in relationships, in marriage, and in nature, the story poses tough questions: What constitutes betrayal between husband and wife? Can a savior be a lover? Are either ever justified? Even as the novel portrays a woman's loss, grief, and recovery, it examines how friendship can dangerously evolve into desire.

Beth Webb Hart
(Love, Charleston) at DeBordieu Beach Club
An inspiring, heart-warming novel set in romantic Charleston. "Stay and wait." Anne Brumley heard these words years ago in the bell tower at Saint Michael's Church in Charleston. She's certain they were from God and has been waiting for true love ever since. But her sister, Della, and their cousin, Alicia, have their doubts. Could Anne have misunderstood His calling? Saint Michael's new rector may be the answer to Anne's prayers. Good-old-boy and widower Roy Summerall can’t believe he’s been called to pastor such a historical and decidedly rich congregation. He can't possibly measure up to their expectations. It will take a miracle of extraordinary love to provide a happy ending for each of these four Charleston friends.
