Learn moreFrom Haywood Smith, the New York Times bestselling author of THE RED HAT CLUB novels comes a pitch perfect story of four sisters who are forced to come together after years of silence
Sisters Dahlia, Iris, Violet, and Rose—all with grown children of their own—have a complicated relationship, so when their grandmother's will requires them to spend the whole summer—without friends or family—"camping in" at her run-down lodge on re mote Lake Clare in order to inherit the valuable land, old rivalries and new understanding emerge, with plenty of laughs along the way.
Desperate to save her Buckhead home from foreclosure after being left in the lurch, recent divorcee Dahlia must complete the summer and sell her share immediately. Practical, even-tempered Violet will be no problem, but Iris has been Dahlia's nemesis since she learned to say, "no" to her big sister. And super-sweet, quirky Garage Sale Queen Rose is so "green" she'd test the patience of a saint.
As tempers flare and old secrets are revealed, four grown women discover that the past is never truly buried, in Haywood Smith's Ladies of the Lake.
Haywood Smith is the author of Queen Bee of Mimosa Branch, The Red Hat Club, and Red Hat Club Rides Again. She lives in Buford, Georgia.
Cynthia Darlow has been recording audiobooks since 2000, and has received several Earphones awards from AudioFile Magazine for her work.

In describing Darlow’s reading of Ladies of the Lake, Booklist stated, “Darlow jumps into the novel's spirit, pulling out characters with voices dripping with southern charm. Her smooth-as-honey, well-paced reading makes Smith's zany scenes shine."
She has made numerous stage appearances both on and off Broadway and in regional and repertory theater. Most notably, she appeared in the original Broadway production of Grease and The Thomas Crown Affair with Pierce Brosnan. Her television credits include all versions of Law & Order and The Sopranos.
