Happiness Key by Emilie Richards

This novel by Emilie Richards follows a group of diverse women living in a small Florida community called Happiness Key. The primary narrative centers on Tracy Deloche, a former socialite who must rebuild her life as a landlady after her husband's criminal activities leave her with only a few aging rental cottages. Throughout the story, she forms unexpected bonds with her tenants, including the traditional and homesick Janya Kapur and the outspoken Wanda Gray. Together, the neighbors navigate personal crises, solve the mystery of a deceased neighbor’s past, and confront the predatory behavior of a local real estate agent. Ultimately, the women find strength in their newfound friendships while learning to embrace independence and emotional resilience in their coastal sanctuary.
