Slightly South of Simple by Kristy Woodson Harvey is the first book in the Peachtree Bluff trilogy. The novels are about the Murphy girls: Ansley, the mother, and sisters Caroline, Sloane, and Emerson.
They were a happy family living in New York with husband and father Carter but he died in the second tower in 2001. Ansley picked up and moved to Peachtree Bluff, Georgia, to the home her grandmother left her.
Caroline is the oldest, and she moved back to New York for college, got married, and stayed in New York. Sloane married a military man and was residing in North Carolina when the story starts. Emerson is an LA actress who is visiting Peachtree Bluff as her latest film is on location in Georgia.
This novel focuses on Caroline who has returned to Peachtree Bluff after her husband James has told her he doesn't love her anymore. Seems he has a supermodel girlfriend he loves now. Caroline, who is six months pregnant, packs up and goes home to her mother with her daughter Vivi. She is not certain what the future holds.
Kristy Woodson Harvey is a Southern writer of contemporary fiction. This series is my first encounter with her. She lives in Beaufort, North Carolina, with her husband and son.
