As the editorial director of Palm Beach Confidential, Maribelle Barrows knows what lies beneath the glittering facade of the moneyed elite on Florida’s glamourous 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 their 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. While the pathway out is steep, it is worth any risk. Until the winner takes all. Maribelle’s Shadow is a compelling tale of deception and what lurks beneath family loyalty, written by a nationally renowned observer of women’s relationships.
