After a major loss and a move away from everything familiar, 13-year-old Belle Finch faces the pressures of being the new girl and unsettling personal revelations. Set at Hobcaw Barony, the novel brings her into contact with the landscape, its history, horses, and the ghostly presence of Belle Baruch. Woods and waters shape a summer in which the two Belles’ stories meet themes of growing up, confidence, and self-acceptance.

Book overview

Carolyn Murray's debut novel, Honeysuckle Girl, pays homage to Belle Baruch as a ghostly guide for a shut-down 13-year-old, dealing with huge loss, relocation from all she knew, peer pressure as the new girl, and startling and personally terrifying revelations. The possibilities of one special summer stretch before this novel's young Belle as she moves to the South Carolina Lowcountry and discovers who she is - and who she can become. Murray has accurately described Hobcaw Barony's environment and history as a magical place where the spirit of Belle Baruch lives today. Through the woods, waters and horses, both Belle Baruch and Belle Finch find maturity, confidence, and self-acceptance.
