At the Corner of East and Normal: A Southern Family Beach Drama

When broke single mom Kathryn Bird learns that her estranged parents have died, she returns to her crumbling childhood home on Florida's iconic 30A-the so-called Hamptons of the South-determined to fix it up, sell fast, and never look back. But the house holds more than peeling paint and forgotten family heirlooms. As Kathryn sorts through decades of secrets, she must confront the long-buried suspicion that her father may have killed her mother.Told in the interwoven voices of four generations of Bird women-Kathryn, her precocious daughter, her complicated mother, and the grandmother she never truly knew-this layered family drama peels back the glossy facade of seaside privilege to reveal the emotional wreckage beneath.Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand, Liane Moriarty, and Kristy Woodson Harvey, At the Corner of East and Normal is a beach read of inheritance, forgiveness, and the haunting power of family legacy.
