FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW YORK, NY — From nationally renowned observer of women’s relationships, Susannah Marren, comes a compelling tale of deception and family loyalty. Maribelle’s Shadow releases June 27th, 2023 from Beaufort Books.

As the editorial director of Palm Beach Confidential, Maribelle Walker knows what lurks beneath the glittering facade of the moneyed elite on Florida’s most glamorous coast. Or does she?

When her adored and impressive husband, Samuel, dies suddenly, the secrets and lies between Maribelle and her sisters rise to the surface. Compounding the anguish, the authenticity of their socially ambitious mother and lavish lifestyle of mansions, privilege and couture clothes is thrown into doubt.

As their carefully constructed image unravels, each sister realizes she must fend for herself. The pathway out is steep and worth any risk. Until the winner takes all.

From Susannah Marren comes her latest book in the luxurious world of Palm Beach, delivering a memorable novel about a seductive power play. Her other novels include A Palm Beach Scandal (September 2020), A Palm Beach Wife (April 2019), and Between the Tides (July 2015). Taking a pseudonym for her fiction writing, Susan Shapiro Barash has also written over a dozen nonfiction books, including Tripping the Prom Queen, Toxic Friends, and A Passion for More.

Fans of Lauren Weisberger’s Where the Grass is Green and the Girls are Pretty and Jane Green’s The Sunshine Sisters will be captivated by the dramatic untangling of family secrets and question of authenticity in Maribelle’s Shadow. The book is available anywhere books are sold.
