About

Hello, friend. I'm Libby.

A lantern and a pink camellia on a porch rail by the water

Libby Whitfield writes clean, heartwarming women's fiction set on the Sweetgrass Coast, a stretch of Georgia shoreline you won't find on any map but will swear you've visited.

Her heroines are women in their forties standing at a turning point. Widowed, divorced, newly empty-nested, or simply tired of putting everyone else first, they come home, or somewhere that becomes home, and discover that the best chapters can come later than anybody told them.

Her books are full of front porches, long supper tables, old letters, small-town secrets and friendships that hold. There's always a love story, and it's always clean, the kind of romance that makes you sigh and reach for the next book.

If you love stories about second chances, salt air and women who never stopped believing in love, pull up a chair. You're among friends.

Questions readers ask

Are your books clean?

Yes. Every book is clean and wholesome: no profanity, no bedroom scenes, and nothing you'd mind your mama reading over your shoulder. The love stories are full of heart, with a kiss or two along the way.

Do I need to read them in order?

Each series is best read in order, since the friendships and a small mystery build from book to book. But every book has its own complete love story and a happy ending. The four series can be read in any order, though characters from earlier towns do pop in.

Where is the Sweetgrass Coast?

It's a fictional stretch of the Georgia coast. Juniper Bay, Magnolia Landing, Camellia Island and Osprey Point are all a short drive apart, so you'll run into old friends at Sweetgrass Coffee & Books in Juniper Bay no matter which series you're reading.
