The Scarlet's Harlots Trilogy

The Scarlet’s Harlots Trilogy by Kirsten Pursell is a women’s fiction series about divorce, friendship, and self-reinvention in midlife. Set on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, the trilogy follows Scarlet, Missy, Amber, and Margo—members of the renegade offshoot of the Sullivan’s Island Divorced Women’s Book Club—as they challenge stereotypes about love, aging, and starting over.

Across Finding Scarlet, The Unabridged Life of Missy Kinkaid, and Amber: Unscripted (coming 2026), these messy, complicated women confront the past, claim their voices, and learn what it truly means to own their stories—flaws, heartbreak, and all. Defying the idea that divorce or middle age signals an ending, the women of Scarlet’s Harlots prove it can be the beginning of something braver and more authentic.

Blending humor, emotional depth, and heart, the Scarlet’s Harlots Trilogy explores women’s empowerment, love, friendship, and family, celebrating the strength it takes to rewrite the rules—and choose yourself.
