27 Apr WHAT’S HAPPENING

I’m BEYOND thrilled to have received endorsements from three of my favorite authors (and souls): Mary Alice Monroe, Nancy Thayer and Kristy Woodson Harvey. I’ve long been a fan of all three, and their work has influenced mine (from setting to themes).

 “Viola Shipman knows relationships.  The Clover Girls will sometimes make you smile and other times cry, but like a true friendship, it is a novel you will forever savor and treasure.”-New York Times Bestselling Author Mary Alice Monroe

“Reading Viola Shipman’s novels is like talking with your best friend about serious matters and also, clothes, friendship and good-looking boys, and wanting never to hang up the phone. The Clover Girls is her most beautiful novel, and her most important.”-Nancy Thayer, New York Times Bestselling Author of Family Reunion

“Viola Shipman has written a love song to long-lost friends, an ode to the summers that define us and the people who make us who we are. At its core, The Clover Girls is a book about female friendship, its ability to evolve, to endure decades, life changes and even betrayals. Women of all ages will read this book, pick up the phone and reconnect with those they hold most dear. The minute I finished The Clover Girls, I ordered copies for all my friends. It’s that good.”—Kristy Woodson Harvey, USA Today Bestselling author of Feels Like Falling
