Beneath the Magnolia is a sweeping Southern family saga about the girl who never forgot the boy with haunted eyes and the found family that tried to save them both. Set in small-town Mississippi from the mid-1980s through the 1990s, the series follows Sadie Morgan and Daniel Harper from barefoot childhood through the trials that test their bond: poverty, abuse, first love, and the pull of dreams that might take them away from each other. Written with the grit of Where the Crawdads Sing and the heart of The Notebook, it's a story about resilience, belonging, and the kind of love romantic and familial that grows stronger in the cracks. With four completed novels spanning their intertwined lives, Beneath the Magnolia offers publishers a ready-made series with rich emotional stakes and cinematic potential.
