About Secrets of Southern Girls
In Secrets of Southern Girls, the powerful, affecting debut from Haley Harrigan, a young woman uncovers devastating secrets about the friend she thinks she killed…
Ten years ago, Julie Portland accidentally killed her best friend, Reba. What’s worse is she got away with it. Consumed by guilt, she left the small town of Lawrence Mill, Mississippi, and swore nothing would ever drag her back.
Now, raising her daughter and struggling to make ends meet in Manhattan, Julie still can’t forget the ghost of a girl with golden hair and a dangerous secret.
When August, Reba’s first love, begs Julie to come home to find the diary that Reba kept all those years ago, Julie’s past comes creeping back to haunt her. That diary could expose the shameful memories Julie has been running from, but it could also unearth the hidden truths that Reba left buried…and reveal that Julie isn’t the only one who feels responsible for Reba’s death.
In fact, she may not be responsible at all.
“Heartachingly beautiful, Secrets of Southern Girls is a compelling tale about lost love and childhood regrets.
This is masterfully written, shifting from past to present as the story unfolds to expose the haunting truth
of one girl’s desire to be loved and the dangerous secret she possesses.
Harrigan’s debut is a captivating read that won’t let you go until the very last page.”
—Kerry Lonsdale, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Everything We Keep and All the Breaking Waves
