Description
Audie Pippin is a 24-year-old veterinary technician at the animal shelter in Sumter, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville. Her carefree life includes friends, marijuana, margaritas, and casual sex--until all of it is jeopardized by her grandmother's failing health. Beth Hester is a 33-year-old nurse at the long-term care facility where Audie's grandmother is admitted after a serious stroke. She's down to earth and mature, her career and financial investments meticulously planned. Compared to show more Audie, Beth doesn't know the meaning of fun. Through Audie's daily visits, they forge a friendship that draws Beth into a celebration of the fun side of life while opening her eyes to innocent, unselfish love. As Audie surrenders her heart to Beth, she begins to distance herself from the reckless habits of her youth. Just as they're ready to meet in the middle, their future is thrown into doubt by a duty Beth can't ignore. It all comes to a head on the river at Sumter Point. show lessTags

And while it was one of the sweetest stories I've read of MacGregor's, it was also different than the others that I've read so far. While she's written books that have various aged protagonists (older women in Mulligan, middle aged women in Secrets So Deep. But in Sumter Point the women themselves are two different ages.
I liked the characters for the most part, but I Thought that the two women were made a little unrealistically different in some cases and then they both changed so fast.
The basic plot was centered around the main character Audie's Granmaw and her stat at Sumter's Nursing Home where she was cared for by Beth.
The Granmaw was by far my favorite character in the book. Reminded me a bit of my own grandmother, a lot of show more calmness and knowledge of the real world and just a bit of spice too. show less
