Praise for Love, Alice

Love, Alice is part romance and part mystery, but at its heart is a beautifully layered story about surviving tragedy and discovering new connections in surprising and unexpected ways. The emotional journeys of the three main characters are made more engrossing by the descriptive language of Ms. Davis's writing and by the Charleston setting that is as much a character as the living, breathing ones.Karen White, New York Times bestselling author

Love Aliceis a masterfully told tale of secrets, lies, and regrets. Wrapped up with a good dollop of southern life, it is a powerful story about how families both hurt and heal one another. I loved every word!Barbara Claypole White, award-winning author ofThe Perfect Son

There are few things as delicious as settling down to read a new Barbara Davis novel, and Love, Alice is every bit as intriguing and emotional a story as Id anticipated. Heartfelt and beautifully written, Love Alice may be Barbara Daviss finest work yet.Diane Chamberlain, USA Today bestselling author
