Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Fun read filled with both joy and tears. You don't like Miriam very much at the beginning, with her rigid ideas of right and wrong and what is due to her. You will probably like the person, "Mellie," she becomes, mostly because of returning to her mother, and her roots on Sullivans Island. But none of it is very believable. She suddenly becomes close to her estranged sons, and best friends with the tenant (and her behavior) she has scorned, while inexplicably reconnecting with her mother. Suspend belief, and enjoy the ride, along with Mellie and all the other characters! ( ) This rating is for my taste not the authors writing ability. I love Dorthea and Sullivan's Island remains at the top of my all time favorite books. I just do not enjoy chic lit and books that follow a formula. It seams that is what has happened over the last several years and I tend to not choose her as an author any longer just because this type of book is no longer what I enjoy. Generally I prefer more of an action-type story, and a bit more heat in my romance. But I like the way Dorothea Benton Frank writes, and I enjoyed the characters in this book. The last 20 to 50 pages felt rushed to me, as if she had too much story to tell in a limited page count, but overall it was enjoyable. no reviews | add a review
