“We Walker women were born screaming into this world, the beginning of a lifelong quest to find what would quiet us. Vivien knows there is now only one way to rediscover herself—by uncovering the secrets of her family and breaking the cycle of loss that has haunted them for generations.. Now Vivien is forced into the unexpected role of caretaker, challenging her personal quest to find the girl she herself once was. But for Vivien things change in ways she cannot imagine when a violent storm reveals the remains of a long-dead woman buried near the Walker home, not far from the cypress swamp that is soon to give up its ghosts. But whatever drove us away was never stronger than the pull of what brought us back.” When Vivien Walker left her home in the Mississippi Delta, she swore never to go back, as generations of the women in her family had. But in the spring, nine years to the day since she’d left, that’s exactly what happens—Vivien returns, fleeing from a broken marriage and her lost dreams for children. What she hopes to f
Praise for New York Times Bestselling AuthorKaren White “A dedicated artistKaren White’s talent is ripe for the taking.”—The Huffington Post “White’s dizzying carousel of a plot keeps those pages turning, so much so that the book can—and should be—finished in one afternoon, interrupted only by a glass of sweet iced tea.”—Oprah “Family relationships worthy of a Tennessee Williams play.”—fayobserver (Fayetteville, NC) “White’s ability to write a book that keeps you hankering for more is her strong suit. The Beach Trees is a great book about the power of family and connection that you won’t soon forget.”—South Charlotte Weekly “Whiteweaves together themes of Southern culture, the powerful bond of family, and the courage to rebuild in the face of destruc
Grown Up Fiction For The Ages A. Brookes I love Karen White's books, and I think this one ranks as one of her best. As always in her books, the story line is filled with insightful moments and kindly delivered life lessons. I usually read her books twice, the first time to savor the plot, the second to highlight the lovely bits of wisdom, to read again and again. The characters are well written, and evolve with the story. If you asked me, I would tell you I don't like romance stories, but at age 67, I can still remember what it was . Another great Karen White story A trip from the past to the present about strong southern women. Mothers and daughters lives that are pulled apart but some how are reunited through love and secrets from the past.. "She Never Lets You Down!" according to Tazmania. I think that Karen White can do it all. Tell a good story, create fabulous characters and weave their lives into a book that holds you from beginning to end.
