LAGUNA BEACH BOOKS TO HOST AN EVENT WITH LOCAL AUTHOR KAIRA ROUDA

LAGUNA BEACH, CA – On Sunday, September 8 at 4pm, Laguna Beach Books is pleased to welcome local author Kaira Rouda to the store. Kaira will be discussing and signing copies of her most recent book, The Favorite Daughter. There is no charge for this event. 

From the author of Best Day Ever, another gripping novel of psychological suspense set in an upscale Southern California community, for fans of B.A. Paris and Shari Lapena.  

The perfect home. The perfect family. The perfect lie.  

Jane Harris lives in a sparkling home in an oceanfront gated community in Orange County. It's a place that seems too beautiful to be touched by sadness. But exactly one year ago, Jane's oldest daughter, Mary, died in a tragic accident and Jane has been grief-stricken ever since. Lost in a haze of anti-depressants, she's barely even left the house. Now that's all about to change.  

It's time for Jane to reclaim her life and her family. Jane's husband, David, has planned a memorial service for Mary and three days later, their youngest daughter, Betsy, graduates high school. Yet as Jane reemerges into the world, it's clear her family has changed without her. Her husband has been working long days -- and nights -- at the office. Her daughter seems distant, even secretive. And her beloved Mary was always such a good girl -- dutiful and loving. But does someone know more about Mary, and about her last day, than they've revealed?

The bonds between mothers and daughters, and husbands and wives should never be broken. But you never know how far someone will go to keep a family together.
