It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas–and the release of my new holiday novel, Christmas in Peachtree Bluff yesterday is making us feel very merry and bright!
Thank you so much to everyone who showed my book so much love on its launch day yesterday! If you’re looking to get a jump on your holiday shopping–hostess gifts, teacher gifts, something fun for that hard-to-buy-for sister-in-law–signed books make great gifts!
This story is the fourth book in my popular Peachtree Bluff Series–but can easily be read as a standalone–and is full of Christmas cheer!
Last year, when we weren’t having the Christmas I was dreaming of–full of big family gatherings, packed Christmas parades and parties galore–I decided to write the holiday I wished we were having. Christmas in Peachtree Bluff was born!
New York Times Bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews said Christmas in Peachtree Bluff “is as sweet as a candy cane, heartwarming as a cup of cocoa, and as endearing as the familiar sights and sounds of a small town Southern Christmas. It’s the kind of gift readers will unwrap with glee. I’m predicting reading and re-reading Christmas in Peachtree Bluff will quickly become a treasured holiday tradition.”
And Booklist said: “Like authors Mary Kay Andrews and Mary Alice Monroe, Harvey offers what appears to be a simple beach read but expands to honor the forgiveness and hope possible with family and community support.”
This gorgeous home filled with holiday flavor is giving us that exact same feeling!
It is just the kind of warm and welcoming place we can imagine matriarch Ansley Murphy and her three daughters in my Peachtree Bluff Series, having their family celebrations. From big family meals,
To tucked in tight for Sugar Plum Fairy-dreams,
To the perfect place to dress for every holiday fete and gathering,
This stunning home is making us feel full of holiday cheer!
We hope that Christmas in Peachtree Bluff makes you feel the exact same way!

CHRISTMAS IN PEACHTREE BLUFF released yesterday is the biggest way thanks to all of you! Pick up your copy that Mary Kay Andrews called “the kind of gift readers will unwrap with glee” and E! said, “We dare you not to wish you were a member of this family as you read about their attempts to come together to save their town as the storm of the century approaches.” Check out the trailer below!
In the newest installment of New York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey’s Peachtree Bluff series, three generations of the Murphy women must come together when a hurricane threatens to destroy their hometown—and the holiday season in the process.
When the Murphy women are in trouble, they always know they can turn to their mother Ansley. So when eldest daughter Caroline and her husband James announce they are divorcing—and fifteen-year-old daughter Vivi acts out in response—Caroline, at her wits end, can’t think of anything to do besides leave her with Ansley in Peachtree Bluff for the holidays. After all, how much trouble can one teenager get into on a tiny island?
Quite a lot, as it turns out.
As the “storm of the century” heads toward Peachtree Bluff, Ansley and her husband Jack, with Vivi in tow, are grateful they’re planning to leave for the trip of a lifetime. But Vivi’s recklessness forces the trio to shelter in place during the worst hurricane Peachtree has ever seen. With no power, no provisions, and the water rising, the circumstances become dire very quickly…and the Murphy sisters, who evacuated to New York, soon realize it’s up to them to conduct a rescue mission. With the bridges closed and no way to access Peachtree Bluff by land or air, they set sail on Caroline’s boat, The Starlite Sisters, determined to rebuild their beloved town—as well as their family.
In “pitch perfect tones” (Publishers Weekly) and written with her signature Southern charm, New York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey explores the magic of Christmas, the power of forgiveness, and the importance of family in a tale that reminds us that, no matter the circumstances, home is always where we belong—especially during the holidays.
