Mary Alice Monroe Book Launch & Luncheon

The South Carolina Environmental Law Project (SCELP) is honored to host a luncheon celebrating the launch of New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe's newest novel, Where the Rivers Merge, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025 from 12-2pm at The Oaks Dining Room in the Belfair Club House, 200 Belfair Oaks Blvd., Bluffton, SC.

Join us to hear Mary Alice read from her latest book championing the spirited 88-year-old Eliza Rivers’ tenacious efforts to protect the land she loves and calls home from her only child’s sense of entitlement. This highly anticipated novel is a celebration of the land and spirit of the early twentieth-century Lowcountry and drives home the need to safeguard and protect it for future generations - something that we work towards every day here at SCELP. Guests also will bear witness to the passion that drives SCELP’s executive director, Amy Armstrong, to use her legal expertise to protect South Carolina's beautiful spaces.

Tickets to this book launch luncheon are $125, which includes a copy of Where the Rivers Merge, and a chance to name a character in Mary Alice Monroe’s next novel! Proceeds benefit the work of the South Carolina Environmental Law Project.
