From beloved romance author Molly Harper (Half-Moon Hollow and The Nice Girls series) comes the first title in her new rom-com women's fiction series, Southern Eclectic, which features the lives, losses and loves of the McCready family as they manage their family's generational funeral home and bait shop (you read that correctly) on the shore of picturesque Lake Sackett, Georgia.
Type-A Margot Cary is the leading event planner for the crème de la crème of Chicago high society. No request is too extravagant for her to execute with trademark perfection. That is, until an unfortunate incident involving a shrimp tower, live flamingos, and a shellfish allergy puts her on the black list of the rich and social and out of a job. With the lights about to be shut off in the trendy condo she can no longer afford, and her savings account dwindling, Margot's situation is near to desperate.
In steps her birth father's side of the family (who she's never met), the McCreadys...the McCreadys of the McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop in small town Georgia—and as luck would have it, they're looking for an event planner and don't care about her reputation among the A-list crowd. As Margot tackles small town life—where everyone knows everything about everyone—and builds a relationship with a father who she'd never known, she discovers the comforts that community, a rather large extended family, and a rugged, unpretentious country man can offer...
"This sweet tale of the city girl finding a home in the country launches Harper's (Accidental Sire) latest series and will go down as easy as honey on a deep-fried Twinkie." (Library Journal)
"Margot is a terrific lead for Harper's supporting cast of quirky characters. This is a promising start to Harper's Southern Eclectic series." (Publishers Weekly)
"Harper writes characters you can't help but fall in love with." (RT Book Reviews)
"Molly Harper is known for writing hilarious scenes, and her unique sense of humor is evident all throughout the story. . . . There are countless laughs in Sweet Tea and Sympathy along with an equal number of heartfelt moments." (AlwaysReviewing.com )
"This book is funny and the characters engaging...Finished it in 24 hours and already looking forward to the next in the Southern Eclectic series." (BookRiot)

      Harper (Where the Wild Things Bite) puts her own spin on a fish-out-of-water tale in this romantic comedy. Margot Cary was a talented event planner in Chicago, looking forward to making partner in her firm, until an unmitigated disaster involving flamingos run amok got her fired. Out of a job and facing the prospect of losing her apartment, she is suddenly contacted by an aunt that she never knew existed and reluctantly accepts her job offer. The family of Margot’s absent father welcomes her to Lake Sackett, Ga., to work for the McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop. After a prickly start, Margot gets to know her extended family and her father, Stan. She also meets (and makes out with in a truck behind the local bar) handsome elementary school principal and “depressive lumberjack” Kyle Archer, a widowed father of two. As Margot sorts out her feelings for Kyle and finds her footing in her new town, Harper sets her heroine a challenge to suit her talents in taking over the local Founders’ Festival. Margot is a terrific lead for Harper’s supporting cast of quirky characters. This is a promising start to Harper’s Southern Eclectic series.
