very predictable romance story line...I wish I had not paid full price for this book.

I enjoyed this book. Although it is a little different than some of Dorothea Benton Frank's books and took a little bit to get into it I felt it was a good read. I would suggest reading the author's nopte in the back of the book before you start. It will give you a little insight into the connection Dorothea felt with these people she is writing about. There is real life history behind this story.
Cate loses everything and travels home to Folly Beach to be near her family and try to rebuild her life. I usually enjoy these Lowcountry tales but the last few ones haven't been my favorites. I did enjoy the locale but that's about it. This one just didn't ring true....
Too bland and predictable for me. Not something I would normally read but it was given to me by an aunt who loved it. She would probably have rated it a 4 1/2.
This book is another excellent story by Dorothea
Benton Frank! I love reading about the places that I have had the pleasure of visiting. I walked on Folly Beach & picked up seashells a few months ago. I had lunch on the pier with my husband and wondered about the people that were fortunate enough to grow up and live in such a beautiful place. This book has brought the characters to life and only makes me wish that I had read it before my visit. I could have visualized more about the story as it unfolded, taking me back to a more simpler time in history! Excellent read!! I would highly recommend it!!

Another great low country tale...funny, human and based on a true story! (well, the backstory anyway)
Another delightful Dotty Frank lowcountry tale! Highly recommended.
Love Dorothea Benton Frank's lowcountry stories and this one did not disappoint. The two love stories intermingled made for many late nights turning pages! I'm not swapping this book because I want to pass it on to a friend for her beach reading collection.
