Browseabout Books will host “The Violet Hour” author Victoria Benton Frank for a signing event from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 17, in Rehoboth Beach.

The heartwarming and empowering novel centers on two young women learning to persevere and thrive after personal tragedies.   

Violet Adams is the perfect, youngest child in a family of loud, passionate women on Sullivan’s Island, S.C. As the sweet, traditional one, she’s always been the steady hand in her family, but after a sudden breakup and subsequent tragedy, she doesn’t know who she is anymore.

Aly Knox, Violet’s best friend, is a young influencer still struggling with the loss of her mother and adjusting to joining Violet in Southern living. With her best friend’s help, Violet is determined to break out of her shell - and who she thought she was - no matter what. And what better place to look for success, meaning and possibly love than the South Carolina Lowcountry?
