Wonderful Low country story. After reading and hating "The House on Tradd Street", I was relieved that this book did not disappoint. Beautifully written, excellent story line, with very human three dimensional characters, I didn't want the story to end. This one has it all - romance, heartbreak, tragedy, family secrets, mystery, friendship, forgiveness and so much more. Highly recommend this read from a very talented author.

Wow. I am surprised at how much I liked this book. It was not "sappy" romantic chick lit. Well written with a touch of mystery, my interest was captured throughout. The story brought forth many emotions through its characters, while also providing a glimpse at some disturbing historical truths regarding racial prejudice. It takes a lot to impress me these days with books, but this one did! Loved it.

I found this to be such an absorbing read that I stayed up half the night because I could not bear to put the book down -- I was hooked from practically the first paragraph. I did have a problem with one point of the plot but I won't discuss that here because I do not want to give anything away. My first by this author, and it won't be my last!

The was a book that made me want to read clear to the end just to find out the secret in someone's life. All the characters and lives portrayed had depth to me, but the sense of mystery in the grandmothers lives really drew me in. Wonderful reading.
