"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Heart of Palm
By Laura Lee Smith
Publication Date: April 2
From Amazon:
Utina, Florida, is a small, down-at-heels southern town. Once enlivened
by the trade in Palm Sunday palms and moonshine, Utina hasn’t seen
economic growth in decades, and no family is more emblematic of the
local reality than the Bravos. Deserted by the patriarch years ago, the
Bravos are held together in equal measure by love, unspoken blame, and
tenuously brokered truces.
The story opens on a sweltering July
day, as Frank Bravo, dutiful middle son, is awakened by a distress call.
Frank dreams of escaping to cool mountain rivers, but he’s only made it
ten minutes from the family restaurant he manages every day and the
decrepit, Spanish-moss-draped house he was raised in, and where his
strong-willed mother and spitfire sister—both towering redheads, equally
matched in stubbornness—are fighting another battle royale. Little do
any of them know that Utina is about to meet the tide of development
that has already engulfed the rest of Northeast Florida. When
opportunity knocks, tempers ignite, secrets are unearthed, and each of
the Bravos is forced to confront the tragedies of their shared past.
