Celebrating Marriage: Memphis to Charleston with Best-Selling Novelist Mary Alice Monroe

The Booksellers at Laurelwood will be highlighting New York Times best-selling novelist Mary Alice Monroe’s latest novel, A Lowcountry Wedding, (fourth in her Lowcountry Summer Series). Mary Alice will be hosting a Lowcountry reception this Saturday at Booksellers, signing this latest installment in the series, plus readers with a wedding to plan can enter to win a $40,000 Dream Southern Wedding!

A Lowcountry Wedding delves into the heart of marriage, commitment, and family ties, and nothing could be more enchanting than a summer wedding—or two!—in Charleston’s fabled lowcountry. A centuries old plantation, an avenue of ancient oaks dripping moss, a storied ballroom, a sand dune at sunset. Yet when a stranger arrives, a long held family secret could silence the bells ringing for the Muir sisters. Scandals surface, family bonds are questioned, and promises are broken and renewed.

As a writer and as a volunteer, Mary Alice is committed to environmental efforts. A Lowcountry Wedding continues her powerful environmental message concerning Atlantic bottlenose dolphins which runs throughout the Lowcountry Summer Series; nearly half of the resident species in South Carolina is ill. Mary Alice is a successful New York Times bestselling and award winning author. Her novel, The Beach House will be adapted into a Hallmark Channel Original Movie, starring three-time Golden Globe nominee Andie MacDowell. Filming is set to begin summer 2016.
