Amanda Jane Rush didn't plan to be a New York socialite. But here she was, owner of a beauty and fashion boutique, living in a cute, cozy bachelorette pad in SoHo that was the envy of her friends, and sharing life with her lovable dog. But when an unexpected letter arrives, she is reluctantly summoned back to a place she fought hard to forget, and to the family that she abandoned long ago. She hasn’t seen or talked to her mother, family and friends in a decade. With coaxing from her squad, she returns to Alabama to discover that everything she knew growing up had changed, her family was keeping scandalous secrets, and everything she knew was a total lie. Saraland is a sweeping, sexy, humorous story about friends, family, loss, love and identity, and how one woman's world is completely turned inside out.
