Now in mass market from the New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels: a story of one woman's journey into a secret past--and a life she never expected on the ravaged coast of Biloxi, Mississippi... Working at an auction house in New York, Julie Holt meets a struggling artist and single mother who reminds her very much of her missing younger sister. Monica Guidry paints a vivid picture of her Southern family through stories, but never says why or how she lost contact with them. And she has another secret: a heart condition that will soon take her life. Feeling as if she's lost her sister a second time, Julie inherits from Monica an antique portrait--as well as custody of her young son. Taking him to Biloxi, Mississippi, to meet the family he's never known, Julie discovers a connection of her own. The portrait, of an old Guidry relative, was done by her great-grandfather--and unlocks a surprising family history.... INCLUDES A READERS GUIDE AND AN EXCERPT OF DREAMS OF FALLING

I think this story would be better if I had read it instead of listened to it because the narrorator's voice didn't show much emotion throughout the book. However, I still recommend it.

Mehso-so

I think this story would have been better if the narrorator on the audible was a bit less monotone but overall a decent story. Not life changing but it was a good beach read.

My #funkopopswap box was amazing. I loved all of it. @AmberWB Thank you so much. I love the variety of tea and shared it with my coworkers. The HP book sleeve is perfect for carrying my kindle and cord.

3 missing persons, 2 hurricanes, 1 murder, and tons of family secrets. Told in two first person narratives 50 years apart. This was my first Karen White, but won‘t be my last.

What a fantastic story! White weaves a mystery in with her stories and it is a joy watching this story unfold and learning all the family secrets that had been buried for over 50 years. Everything is told in such vivid detail, that you feel as though you are experiencing everything her characters are. The Beach Trees really captured my heart, it‘s story will stay with me for a long time.
