Last year, Long Beach Island native Susan Shapiro Barash released her novel A Palm Beach Wife, set in the exclusive, glamorous world of Palm Beach, Fla. Writing under her pen name, Susannah Marren, the author has just released A Palm Beach Scandal.

She follows two sisters in this novel of artifice and intrigue as one offers the ultimate selfless act to the other, proving the very meaning of family.

Veronica and Simon Cutler and their adult daughters, Elodie and Aubrey, appear to be the consummate Palm Beach family in a town where social aspirations, wealth and charm prevail.
