Читать книгу Amazing Gracie - Sherryl Woods, Sherryl Woods - Страница 4

Dear Friends,

People often ask me if, after more than a hundred books, I have a favorite. Most of the time I swear it’s whatever just came out or whatever I’m working on at the moment, because that’s usually true. However, my next thought is almost always Amazing Gracie.

When this book first came out more than ten years ago, it was an RT Book Reviews Top Pick. The same magazine later named Amazing Gracie as one of the top two hundred books during its twenty years of publication. I wish I could say exactly what combination of plot and character came together to make this book so special, but I have no idea. It was just one of those serendipitous things authors wish would happen with every single book.

Of course, the fictional setting is very special to me. It was the first mainstream book to be based on my favorite summer town of Colonial Beach, Virginia, which later provided yet another fictional setting for the Trinity Harbor trilogy. The heroine, Gracie MacDougal, still has a place in my heart. And the hero—oh, my—Kevin Patrick Daniels combines just about everything I love about laid-back, generous, contrary and caring Southern men.

I’m so delighted to have Amazing Gracie back in print for a whole new audience. I hope you’ll fall in love with the town, Kevin and Gracie as others have before. Welcome to Seagull Point!

Looking ahead to later this spring, I’ll be taking you back to Serenity, South Carolina, for three more books with the Sweet Magnolias. The new trilogy will begin with Ty and Annie’s long-awaited story, Home in Carolina. I hope you’ll be watching for it.

All best,
