Spend an afternoon with New York Times best-selling author Kristy Woodson Harvey on Saturday, May 3 at Bermuda Run Country Club.
The Mocksville Woman’s Club is hosting a Woman’s Day featuring “An Afternoon with Kristy Woodson Harvey.” Over the years, Woman’s Day has featured esteemed speakers, including syndicated columnist Sharon Randall, Elizabeth Hudson, editor-in-dhief of Our State magazine, and Adriene Wood, “Tales of An Educated Debutante,” to name a few.
“This year, you will not want to miss Kristy Woodson Harvey,” said Christy Shcafer.
If Ms. Harvey’s name sounds familiar, it is because she is a native of North Carolina. Her family hails from Salisbury and spends summers at their Davie residence, Boxwood Manor. She resides in Beaufort, which has been her dream since she was a girl. She is the author of nine novels, including “The Wedding Veil,” “Under the Southern Sky,” and the “Peach Tree Bluff” series.
Phi Beta Kappa, sum cum laude graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Journalism, her writing has appeared in numerous online and print publications, including Southern Living, Traditional Home, USA TODAY, Domino, and O. Henry.
Harvey is the winner of the Lucy Bramlette Patterson Award for Creative Writing and a finalist for the Southern Book Prize. Her books have received numerous accolades, including Southern Living’s Most Anticipated Beach Reads, Parade’s Big Fiction Reads, and Entertainment Weekly’s Spring Reading Picks. Kristy is the cocreator and cohost of the weekly web show and podcast Friends & Fiction. She blogs with her mom, Beth Woodson, on Design Chic and loves connecting with fans on KristyWoodson Harvey.com.
Doors open at 11 a.m. at Bermuda Run Country Club. The afternoon will include a luncheon, a cash bar, a silent auction (which always consists of a selection of shopping), a 50/50 raffle, and the famous Mystery Box. Each guest will receive a personal copy of Kristy Woodson Harvey’s novel, “A Happier Life,” a story set on the North Carolina coast, and a memorable personal gift.
“What a great early Mother’s Day gift, a book club gathering, or fun with a friend,” Schafer said. “It is an excellent way to spend an afternoon.”
