The Front Porch Club by Michelle Major

Back of the Book

They have nothing in common—except a need to start over…

The drawback to having a picture-perfect life is that there’s nowhere to go but down—and Annalise Haverford is falling fast. Once, she was the self-proclaimed queen bee of Magnolia, North Carolina. Now her husband has been arrested for fraud, and she’s become an outcast in the shallow circles she used to rule. There’s only one affordable rental in town, and it’s owned by the woman Annalise got fired from a lucrative job.

Much as single mother Shauna Myer would like to refuse Annalise, who treated her like dirt on the bottom of her red-soled shoe, she needs that rent money. But when Shauna’s first love arrives in town, unraveling secrets she’d hoped to keep, Annalise becomes her unlikely defender. Meghan Banks, an elementary school art teacher whose quiet existence suddenly descends into chaos, is thrown an unexpected lifeline by Annalise, too.

As spring ripens into a sultry summer, the three spur each other on to share their fears and dreams, face new challenges, and seize second chances. Because no matter how turbulent life may be, it’s much easier to navigate those choppy waters when you’re buoyed by true

BOOK REVIEW

The Front Porch Club by Michelle Major is a heartwarming novel that revolves around the lives of three women who seemingly have nothing in common but their need for a fresh start. Set in the quaint town of Magnolia, North Carolina, the novel paints a vivid picture of a community that’s closely knit yet plagued with its share of gossip and drama.

What struck me most about this book was its relatability. The characters are so real and flawed that you can’t help but empathize with them. Major does a fantastic job of exploring complex themes like betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption without coming across as preachy. The story moves at a steady pace, and the tension is expertly maintained until the satisfying conclusion.

Overall, The Front Porch Club is a simple yet delightful read that’s perfect for those looking for a heartwarming tale about friendship, forgiveness, and new beginnings. If you enjoyed the movie Sweet Magnolias or are a fan of authors like Robyn Carr and Susan Mallery, this book is definitely worth checking out.
