BAREFOOT SEASON                            SUSAN MALLERY
Posted: July 24, 2013

Michelle Sanderson may appear to be a strong, independent woman, but on the inside, she’s still the wounded girl who fled home years ago. A young army vet, Michelle returns to the quaint Blackberry Island Inn to claim her inheritance and recover from the perils of war. Instead, she finds the owner’s suite occupied by the last person she wants to see.

Carly Williams and Michelle were once inseparable, until a shocking betrayal destroyed their friendship. And now Carly is implicated in the financial disaster lurking behind the inn’s cheerful veneer.

Single mother Carly has weathered rumors, lies and secrets for a lifetime, and is finally starting to move forward with love and life. But if the Blackberry Island Inn goes under, Carly and her daughter will go with it.

To save their livelihoods, Carly and Michelle will undertake a turbulent truce. It’ll take more than a successful season to move beyond their devastating past, but with a little luck and a beautiful summer, they may just rediscover the friendship of a lifetime.


MY REVIEW:

This by far was Susan's best writing I have yet to read & believe me I have read a lot of her books. She had so many sub stories going on with each & everyone of her characters but never losing sight of the two main characters Michelle & Carly. That in itself takes a great deal of talent especially if you want to hold your readers attention. She so did for sure. These two ex-best friends have issues that have to be worked out in order to make this inn they both love work. The twist & turns are so unexpected & in some ways not. It has a way of giving you that hopeful feeling that all is right with the world & at times sorrowful feeling too. A must read book. Bravo Susan!
