About Southern Charm Society:
Ruthie Flores is running out of time.
Assembling a team who can discreetly breach the walls is a last-ditch effort to find out if her estranged daughter is in danger and to make up for what she’s done before it’s too late—literally. The old woman is in hospice care and she isn’t expected to live long enough to see the seasons change.
Meredith Flores Montgomery keeps a safe distance from her mother. The pair hasn’t spoken in years, and Meredith has no plans for that to change. She isn't sure she can forgive Ruthie for the careless decisions that altered the trajectory of their lives. On top of it all, Meredith has her own problems to be concerned with. She’s in serious danger, and no one knows enough about what's going on to help her find a way out.
Will Ruthie’s regrets follow her to the grave? Will she fail her daughter once again, when it counts more than ever? Or might her outlandish, desperate plan actually work?
Southern Charm Society is a novel set in Nashville and New Orleans that oozes Southern charm and style. The beautiful houses and talented interior design firms in both places provide a gorgeous backdrop for this story of gripping suspense that will keep you guessing right up until its shocking end.
