She deftly translates environmental science to relatable human experiences between mother and daughter, husband and wife, brother and sister, and lovers. Her books have featured pelicans, raptors, the collapse of the shorebird population, dolphins, monarch butterflies and sea turtles. With The Summer of Lost and Found, Monroe surprises readers by shifting her focus from animals to the challenges and changes families and friends face during unprecedented times of isolation, limited social interaction, economic strain, and health concerns brought on by a pandemic— creating a timely and compassionate family saga as the next generation of the Rutledge family calls the beach house home.“I wanted to write about this historical phenomenon we are living in—not about the Covid-19 illness, but human dynamics…I wrote this novel in real time—and what a roller coaster journey it has been! Set against the backdrop of coronavirus, this book explores the meaningful family and life lessons learned, and the joyful memories created, during a season of opportunities lost and found.”New York Times bestselling author and “South Carolina’s queen of the beach read” (Southern Living), Mary Alice Monroe populates her novels with her “signature love of animals…picturesque setting and heartwarmingly intertwined character arcs” (Booklist).Finding her true calling in environmental fiction and as a passionate conservationist, Mary Alice Monroe serves on the board of the Leatherback Trust, the South Carolina Aquarium, Friends of Coastal Carolina, and is a certified volunteer with the Island Turtle Team. She is also on the honorary board of the Pat Conroy Literary Center. Monroe has won numerous awards including the prestigious Southern Prize for Fiction, several Readers Choice awards, and is a member of the South Carolina Academy of Authors 2018 Literary Hall of Fame. She is the co-creator/co-host of the new literary sensation “Friends &amp; Fiction”, a weekly web show and podcast.

She is also a grateful seven-year breast cancer survivor. Golden Girl is her 27th novel.About Golden Girl:In this immensely satisfying new page-turner from “the queen of beach reads” (New York Magazine), Nantucket novelist Vivian Howe has one final summer to protect her secrets while her loved ones on earth learn to live without their golden girl.On a perfect June day, Vivian Howe, author of 13 beach novels and mother of three nearly grown children, is killed in a hit-and-run car accident while jogging near her home on Nantucket. She ascends to the Beyond where she's assigned to a Person named Martha, who allows Vivi to watch what happens below for one last summer. Vivi also is granted three “nudges” to change the outcome of events on earth, and with her daughter Willa on her third miscarriage, Carson partying until all hours, and Leo currently “off again” with his high-maintenance girlfriend, she’ll have to think carefully where to use them.From the Beyond, Vivi watches “The Chief” Ed Kapenash investigate her death, but her greatest worry is her final book, which contains a secret from her own youth that could be disastrous for her reputation. But when hidden truths come to light, Vivi’s family will have to sort out their past and present mistakes – with or without a nudge of help from above – while Vivi finally lets them grow without her.With all of Elin’s trademark beach scenes, mouth-watering meals, and picture-perfect homes, plus a heartfelt message – the people we lose never really leave us – Golden Girl is a beach book unlike any other......................................................................................................Click<a href="https://www.sarasotabooks.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> here</a> to go to the Bookstore1Sarasota website.
