"The Violet Hour is a big-hearted, juicy tale that turns on the knotty, necessary ties of family and friendship. Victoria Benton Frank serves up a delicious, hilarious, wise, and, well, frank tribute to learning how to step out in the world as your own woman and take a ol' big bite."

–Anna Godbersen, author of The New York Times bestselling series The Luxe

"It turns out that hope has a color- it's Violet! In this emotional page turner,

two best friends, Aly and Violet are reeling from loss. This is a novel of  

reinvention and resolve as they find their way forward.  Victoria Benton Frank

has taken her place among the great southern storytellers who write of love, food and family

as the centerpieces of a happy life. The Violet Hour is a glorious read."

– - Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of The View From Lake Como
