The Richest Season/ Maryann McFadden/ 326 pp


When Joanna Harrison  is surprised by another corporate relocation, she suddenly can’t face another move with a husband, Paul,  who is so caught up in his career that he doesn’t see what it will do to her.  So Joanna gets in her car and drives to the last place she felt at peace -- Pawley’s Island, SC.  Once there she gets a job as a companion and helper for an elderly woman with her own secrets.  When Paul is downsized, he gets an opportunity to take a closer look at himself, his choices and what has been driving his need to always have more. The question is, will each of the answers they find bring them close together or push them farther apart?

Similar to Kristin Hannah, McFadden digs deeply into the motivations, strengths and fears of each of the characters.
