A Gracious Neighbor
Book Feature - A Gracious Neighbor by Chris Cander
HBL Note: When I heard the title of this book I first thought of my own neighbor who is an absolute saint from the day we met when our home was destroyed by a fire to celebrating Eric’s birthday earlier this week. She is the epitome of a gracious neighbor. Then I read the hook: Think Little Fires Everywhere and Big Little Lies...but in Texas. Yeah, my neighbors are nothing like the characters in those books. hahahaha! But also, that sounds like a MUCH better book than my neighbor is super nice and I love her. You may know Chris Cander as the Today bestselling author of The Weight of a Piano, or she may be new to you! Either way, scroll down to read all about her latest, A GRACIOUS NEIGHBOR.

From the publisher:
Martha Hale is an affable wife and mother who lives in an affluent neighborhood of well-tended lawns and high expectations. If only her clumsiness at penetrating the social circles of her neighbors weren’t making Martha so lonely.
That’s why she’s thrilled when the glamorous Minnie Foster, a former high school classmate, moves in next door. Despite Martha’s determination, picking up where they left off is trickier than anticipated―especially when their memories of the past don’t always align. But Martha is undeterred. In fact, her preoccupation with Minnie’s life, her success, and her marriage is becoming an obsession. When she sees a darkness and shame hiding inside Minnie’s perfectly deceptive home, Martha realizes that not even Minnie’s secrets are what they seem.
Visceral, sharp-witted, and deeply empathetic, A Gracious Neighbor explores the judgments women pass on one another and the ills of a society curated to keep them on the outside looking in.
