quite good. Mother Miss Lavinia IS VERY eccentric. Daugh. Caroline returns home to see if her brother is trying to sll off the estate and get money. Sickness, voodoo by Millie, cute available men, in the wonderful south carolina plantation. ( )

Dotty Frank's books are good to send to others when you want to send a book with a local flavor. She went to my high school. She writes about the areas around where I live. She's a caring and compassionate woman and really funny when you hear her speak in person or on the radio.

My own mother was in poor health when I read this, so it was even more meaningful to read this book. I cried in parts and laughed in others. This will be a memorable book for me. ( )

Ms Frank's best work as far as I am concerned. Ms Frank paints such vivid word pictures the reader can almost feel that they are at Tall Pines Plantation. The characters are fun and funny! I especially like the way Ms Frank brings the Gullah culture to the forefront time and again. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0515131083, Mass Market Paperback)

Now, in this poignant mother-daughter story, Frank evokes a lush plantation in the heart of modern-day South Carolina-where family ties and hidden truths run as deep and dark as the mighty Edisto River...

Dorothea Frank and I share the same literary territory. (Pat Conroy)

Southern womanhood has found a new voice, and it is outrageous, hilarious, relentless and impossible to ignore. (John Berendt)
