Monica Guidry paints a vivid picture of her Southern family through stories, but never says why or how she lost contact with them. And she has another secret: a heart condition that will soon take her life. <p/>Feeling as if she's lost her sister a second time, Julie inherits from Monica an antique portrait--as well as custody of her young son. Taking him to Biloxi, Mississippi, to meet the family he's never known, Julie discovers a connection of her own. The portrait, of an old Guidry relative, was done by her great-grandfather--and unlocks a surprising family history.... <p/><b>READERS GUIDE INCLUDED</b> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Praise for <i>The Beach Trees</i></b> <p/>"[White] describes the land and location of the story in marvelous detail."--The Huffington Post <p/> "Tightly plotted...a tangled history as steamy and full of mysteries as the Big Easy itself."--<i>Atlanta Journal Constitution</i> <p/> "White has once again written a novel that is both heart-wrenching and heartwarming, and is filled with all the gentle nuances of the graceful, but steadfast, South...Readers will find White's prose an uplifting experience as she is a truly gifted storyteller."--<i>Las Vegas Review-Journal</i> <p/> "White's ability to write a book that keeps you hankering for more is her strong suit. <i>The Beach Trees </i>is a great book about the power of family and connection that you won't soon forget."--<i>South Charlotte Weekly</i> <p/> "White...weaves together themes of Southern culture, the powerful bond of family, and the courage to rebuild in the face of destruction to create an incredibly moving story her dedicated fans are sure to embrace."--<i>The Moultrie News</i> <p/>"A worthy novel to read any time of year--anytime you wonder if it's possible to start anew, regardless of the past."--<i>The Herald-Sun</i> (NC) <p/><b>More Praise for the Novels of Karen White</b> <p/>"There is a rhythm to the writing of Karen White.
