Friends & Fiction with Kristy Woodson Harvey

On this episode, the Fab Four gather to welcome this month’s F&F Featured Author, New York Times bestselling, award-winning author Kristy Woodson Harvey, to discuss her delightfully moving new novel, our May 2025 Pick of the Month, Beach House Rules, about a mother-daughter duo learning to lean on their community of women—and each other—after their world is turned upside down. Kristy is the NYT-bestselling author of a dozen novels, including The Wedding Veil, Under the Southern Sky, and The Peachtree Bluff series. A Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s school of journalism, her writing has appeared in Southern Living, Traditional Home, USA TODAY, Domino, and O. Henry. Kristy is the winner of the Lucy Bramlette Patterson Award for Excellence in Creative Writing and a finalist for the Southern Book Prize and she blogs with her mom, Beth Woodson, on Design Chic. She joins us from her home in coastal North Carolina before heading out on a massive tour to support Beach House Rules, which Booklist, in a starred review, calls, “charming and beachy in the best way.” These LIVE launch episodes are always a blast and you do not want to miss this!
