Set on Topsail Island in North Carolina, Before the Storm is the story of a teenaged boy who is a little bit different and the mother who’s determined to protect him. When Andy Lockwood saves dozens of children from a church fire, he’s thrown into the role of unlikely hero, enjoying the positive attention he’s always longed for. Yet when the suspicion of arson is cast on Andy, his mother must ask herself how well she really knows him…and how far she’ll go to keep her promise to protect him forever.

Watch for the sequel, After the Storm, available in late 2008.

“Diane Chamberlain is the Southern Jodi Picoult.”
— New York Times best-selling author Mary Alice Monroe

From Publishers Weekly on The Bay at Midnight: “Chamberlain skillfully… plumbs the nature of crimes of the heart.”

From Booklist on The Bay at Midnight:
“Chamberlain’s latest is both an enticing mystery and a rewarding love story; expect demand from word of mouth.”

From Publishers Weekly on Her Mother’s Shadow: “…Complex, credible characterization raises (Chamberlain’s) saga so far above soap opera that even readers who are not already fans will sympathize with the flawed but caring people she compassionately evokes.”
