"The Violet Hour is a big-hearted, juicy tale that turns on the knotty, necessary ties of family and friendship. Victoria Benton Frank serves up a delicious, hilarious, wise, and, well, frank tribute to learning how to step out in the world as your own woman and take a ol' big bite."
Description
A heartwarming and empowering novel about thriving after tragedy, from the author of the “enchanting, hilarious, and insightful” (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times author) My Magnolia Summer.
Violet Adams is the perfect, youngest child in a family of strong women on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina. As the sweet, traditional one, she’s always been the steady hand in her family, but after a sudden breakup and subsequent tragedy, she doesn’t know who she is anymore.
Aly Knox, Violet’s best friend, is a young influencer still struggling with the loss of her mother and adjusting to joining Violet in Southern living. With her help, Violet is determined to break out of her shell—and who she thought she was—no matter what. And what better place to look for success, meaning, and possibly summer love than the Lowcountry of South Carolina?

"It turns out that hope has a color- it's Violet! In this emotional page turner,
two best friends, Aly and Violet are reeling from loss. This is a novel of
reinvention and resolve as they find their way forward. Victoria Benton Frank
has taken her place among the great southern storytellers who write of love, food and family
as the centerpieces of a happy life. The Violet Hour is a glorious read."
