​Two childhood friends discover that love--and family--can be found in unconventional ways in this timely, moving novel from the USA TODAY bestselling author of the "beautifully Southern, evocative Peachtree Bluff series" (Kristin Harmel, internationally bestselling author of The Winemaker's Wife).

Recently separated Amelia Buxton, a dedicated journalist, never expected that uncovering the biggest story of her career would become deeply personal. But when she discovers that a cluster of embryos belonging to her childhood friend Parker and his late wife Greer have been deemed "abandoned," she's put in the unenviable position of telling Parker--and dredging up old wounds in the process.

Parker has been unable to move forward since the loss of his beloved wife three years ago. He has all but forgotten about the frozen embryos, but once Amelia reveals her discovery, he knows that if he ever wants to get a part of Greer back, he'll need to accept his fate as a single father and find a surrogate.

Each dealing with their own private griefs, Parker and Amelia slowly begin to find solace in one another as they navigate an uncertain future against the backdrop of the pristine waters of their childhood home, Cape Carolina. The journey of self-discovery leads them to an unforgettable and life-changing lesson: Family--the one you're born into and the one you choose--is always closer than you think.

From "the next major voice in Southern fiction" (Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Under the Southern Sky is a fresh and unforgettable exploration of love, friendship, and the unbreakable ties that bind.

Women's Fiction

This is a Southern Women's Fiction/Chick-Lit. I loved this title, and the cover is so pretty. This is not a light Chick-Lit or Women's Fiction, but it was a really good book. I really enjoying this book so much. There was points of this book I found that moved to slow or was boring, but those part where really short and I got through those part super fast. I love the parts the characters where in North Carolina mostly because I have always lived in North Carolina. This book covers some hard hitting topics, but it is done so will. This book as a ton of twists and turns, and I did not see any of them coming. This is everything I want in a Southern Women's Fiction book. I will say the storyline/plot runs this book the characters does not, but it works so well. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
