Underground Books Book Club Discussion
This month we are discussing “The Inheritance” a novel by Rochelle Alers. Everyone is welcome to attend!
In bestselling author Rochelle Alers’ passionate, uplifting new
series, four friends from very different backgrounds find new
beginnings amid the sultry beauty of New Orleans…
Corporate attorney Hannah DuPont-Lowell always pictured herself
returning to New Orleans to retire—just not yet. But after her
Manhattan company abruptly lays off its staff, there’s no better
place to figure out a next move than the porch of her
plantation-style home.
Nestled in the stunning Garden District, the DuPont House has
been in Hannah’s family for two centuries. With its eighteen
rooms and two guesthouses, it’s far more home than widowed Hannah
needs. Still, it could make a wonderful inn, especially if she
can convince her friends and former coworkers Tonya, Jasmine, and
Nydia to join in the venture. But in the meantime, Hannah has a
high school reunion to attend…
College Professor St. John McNair, Hannah’s one-time classmate,
is still the finest guy in any room. Between Hannah’s willowy,
blonde beauty, and his uncanny resemblance to Marvin Gaye, they
make a striking pair. And gradually, their rekindled friendship
moves toward romance. Still, Hannah is too bruised by her late
husband’s infidelities to trust a man again. But her friends’
arrival and encouragement just might show her a path through
uncertainty—straight to a vibrant, joyful new life…
