PRAISE FOR Chapel Bay Secrets

In her bold and heartfelt new novel, Chapel Bay Secrets, Julie Snider explores the layers of small-town life to reveal secrets that mirror the struggles of modern America. With honesty and compassion, she lays bare the flashpoints of immigration, book banning, and LGBTQ+ rights through the intertwined journeys of three people bound by pain, legacy, and longing. As they confront generational wounds and reckon with their choices, they discover that the path to healing runs not through isolation, but through the messy, necessary work of community.  -- Sharon J. Wishnow— author of The Pelican Tide

Julie Snider’s Chapel Bay Secrets blends small-town charm with timely urgency, making it both comforting and thought-provoking. The world of Chapel Bay is tangible, with its tea shops, wharf paths, and community events, but it’s the undercurrent of conflict that gives the book its strength. Brenda’s harassment by the so-called Lovers of Literature captures the reality of America’s current debates over censorship and inclusion, showing the emotional toll of being targeted for defending diverse voices. . . The title itself is fitting—every town has its secrets, and here they become a lens for identity, memory, and resilience. With layered storytelling, socially relevant themes, and heartfelt characters, Chapel Bay Secrets earns five stars as a novel that speaks to both the heart and the times. It’s a perfect choice for readers who love contemporary fiction rooted in community, history, and the fight to let every voice be heard.
