Beth and Amy
Book Feature - Beth and Amy by Virginia Kantra
HBL Note: BETH AND AMY by Virginia Kantra is the second book in The March Sisters series. I have a very strange and personal connection to Virginia Kantra’s books, because I was reading the first book in this series, MEG AND JO, when our house fire occurred. I’d been really enjoying the book, super into it and flying through. But then, I have this very distinct memory of trying to read it the day after the fire, and the letters and words were just a blur. There is a quote by Joan Didion that sums up this experience, “Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends.”
But now, seeing this familiar book cover style back on my desk, I feel like I’ve come full circle. We are back in our home after over a year of renovations. And what better cast of characters to help get me (and all of us) through tough times in life than the March Sisters? Scroll down to read more about BETH AND AMY.
From the publisher:
Amy March is more like her older sister Jo than she’d like to admit. An up-and-coming designer in New York’s competitive fashion industry, ambitious Amy is determined to get out of her sisters’ shadows and keep her distance from their North Carolina hometown. But when Jo’s wedding forces Amy home, she must face what she really wants…and confront the One Big Mistake that could upend her life and forever change her relationship with Jo.
Gentle, unassuming Beth grew up as the good girl of the family. A talented singer-songwriter, she’s overcome her painful anxiety to tour with country superstar Colt Henderson. But life on the road has taken its toll on her health and their relationship. Maybe a break to attend her sister’s wedding will get her out of her funk. But Beth realizes that what she’s looking for and what she needs are two very different things.…
With the March women reunited, this time with growing careers and families, they must once again learn to lean on one another as they juggle the changes coming their way.
