The Book Club On Waverly Lane
(2022)(The first book in the Waverly Lane series)
A novel by Rachel Hanna
A forty-year-old divorcée. A historic Charleston home. A book club where every woman has a secret bigger than the last.
Shelby Anderson spent ten years building a real estate empire with her husband. Then she caught him cheating with a client, signed the divorce papers, and walked away from the business, the house, and the life she thought she wanted. Now she's starting over on Waverly Lane — a pristine Charleston street with manicured lawns, polite neighbors, and a historic home she bought entirely in her own name. She takes a low-stress job at a charming bookstore called Tattered Pages, meets the handsome restaurant owner next door, and launches a neighborhood book club because she desperately needs friends. What she doesn't know is that every single woman who walks through her door is hiding something.
Cami's husband is "deployed overseas" — or so she tells everyone. Lacy has the perfect marriage, the perfect kids, and the perfect PTA reputation, and she will do anything to keep it that way. Quiet widow Joan hasn't let anyone past her front door in years, and there's a reason. And Willadeene, the blunt older neighbor who knows everyone's business, is about to discover something in her attic that changes everything. One by one, the Waverly Lane Book Club is about to crack wide open.
Shelby came here to start over. She wasn't looking for love. She certainly wasn't expecting to fall for the chef next door. And she never imagined that a group of women she barely knew would become the family she didn't know she was missing.
A warm, witty, wildly emotional Southern women's fiction novel about friendship, second chances, and the messy, beautiful truth that nobody's life is as perfect as it looks.
