Attention Fans Of Feel-Good Fiction...Today is a day of celebration in the book-lover community! Literary darling Kristy Woodson Harvey, author of nearly a dozen beloved novels - some of which are due to make their way to the screen in the near future - has announced the title of her next project! But that's not all: if you check in with her on her blog, you will also find plot details and a first look at the cover of one of Harvey's most intriguing projects yet!

In the reveal post, Harvey announces that her next release will be titled (drumroll, please) A Happier Life!

The title will feature all-new characters in a story set in North Carolina. This setting may be familiar to fans of Harvey, as it is not only the author’s home, but also the backdrop for many of Harvey’s other works including her latest release, The Summer Of Songbirds.

According to an accompanying blog post, the story will follow Keaton Smith, tasked with selling the house which her mother called home as a child, but which has stood vacant for many years. As she prepares the house for sale, however, she begins to uncover intriguing unanswered questions regarding the death of her grandparents years prior.

Following in the footsteps of The Summer Of Songbirds, this new novel will also feature a multigenerational split narrative, showcasing the unraveling mystery from both the past and present. As such, the tale promises to be one of Harvey’s most ambitious to date, presenting a fresh take on storytelling enrobed in the author's signature warmth and southern charm.

As with much of Harvey’s writing, this novel also appears to have been crafted from her personal experiences as a North Carolina native. Beaufort, where the story is set, is of particular significance in that way - she spent her summers there as an adolescent, and now serves as a member of the real-life Beaufort Historical Association.

This announcement coincides with the beginning of Harvey’s latest book tour, which will take her across the country to stops that will be announced on a rolling basis in the near future.

This tour will provide you and your fellow fans to meet Harvey, discuss the previous 10 entries in her bibliography, and perhaps even get an early sample of A Happier Life ahead of its release.

If you are interested in getting your hands on a copy of this upcoming work as soon as possible, pre-orders are now open on Harvey's website as well as most major literary retailers.

Kristy Woodson Harvey is the author of 10 novels in the Southern Fiction Genre, all of which have achieved critical acclaim. She currently hosts the Friends & Fiction podcast with contemporaries Mary Kay Andrews, Patti Henry, and Kristin Harmel, while also contributing regularly to a number of well-known lifestyle blogs.
