A delightful romp that will have you laughing and crying before you get to the end. You are going to care tremendously about Miriam and wish there were several additional chapters. I loved it!

This was one of the best yet from Frank and her "low country" tales. A story about a middle aged divorcee with two grown estranged children who lives in NYC but misses her mother and her roots - both in SC - Sullivan's Island. It made me laugh and cry...very moving story with rich characters that evolved and grew, just like in real life.

Dorothea Benton Frank has a way of making you feel like you are right in the heart of the lowcountry. This isn't my favorite book of hers, but still brings alive the beauty and magic of the lowcountry.

I love all her books, so with that said she took me away again with this one as well. I love the feeling when you read a book you can envision yourself there as one of the characters. Making stong women.

Fun read, will make you laugh and will make you cry. Excellent story line, jerk of a husband , kids to busy, life must go on-- and Miriam makes thing shappen for herself. Of course Ms. Frank is a worth while author. Anything you pick up by her is going to be entertaining.

The story captured me and I totally related to "Mellie"....I couldn't put the book down the second half as her life starting changing because she was ready to make changes in her life. When we accept things that happen to us and appreciate the loved ones around us life is really what you make of it.
