A lonely corporate wife who runs away from home. An elderly woman facing a devastating loss. A top executive adrift in the world after he’s fired. These are the characters in Maryann McFadden’s The Richest Season. Set on beautiful Pawley’s Island, South Carolina, here is a novel about second chances occurring at the most inopportune times in life. In three parallel journeys Joanna, Paul and Grace walk away from lives they always thought they wanted, only to rediscover a part of themselves they’d all but forgotten.
