May 3rd 2017

Three friends met every Tuesday for twenty-six years. And then they stopped.

From the author of the bestselling Sweeney Sisters Series comes a novel of friendship, family and hope....

When new next-door neighbors Georgia, Midge, and Lula first assembled on Georgia’s porch in Charleston for sweet tea, they couldn’t have known their gathering was the beginning of a treasured tradition. For twenty-six years they have met on Tuesdays at four o’clock, watching the seasons change and their children grow up, supporting each other in good times and in bad. With their ambitions as different as their personalities, these best friends anticipate many more years of tea time. And then, one Tuesday, Georgia shares news that brings their long-standing social hour to an abrupt halt. And that’s only the beginning as unraveling secrets threaten to alter their friendship forever.

Excerpt:

As a child, Lizbet had worshipped her mother and her older sister. They were the center of her universe—the sun and the moon. Her father was a star, serving little purpose except to brighten her nights when he came home from work. Lula, Brooke, and Lizbet went everywhere together. They learned to swim, play tennis, and sail. Weather permitting, they packed picnic lunches and explored surrounding beaches and the grounds of local plantations. Lula often said, “We belong to our very own sorority, the Tri Hornes.”

Lula and Brooke were the sorority sisters, but Lizbet was their pledge. She trotted along after them, forcing them to wait for her to catch up. She always got the smallest slice of pizza, the third choice in whatever they were choosing, and the last say in whatever they were deciding—which movie to see or which restaurant to go to for lunch. Her sister took full advantage of having the upper hand. When Brooke left the water running and the bathtub overflowed, she blamed it on Lizbet. She blamed it on Lizbet when she broke their grandmother’s oriental vase and when she hid their mother’s car keys so they’d be late to the dentist. The final straw, the one that made Lizbet drop out of the sorority, happened on Saturday, the twenty-second of October, during the early hours of the morning following her thirteenth birthday.
