Description

Set in the steamy, stormy landscape of South Carolina, this New York Times bestseller from the author of Queen Bee is the unforgettable story of one woman’s courageous journey toward truth…

Born and raised on idyllic Sullivan’s Island, Susan Hayes navigated through her turbulent childhood with humor, spunk, and characteristic Southern sass. But years later, she is a conflicted woman with an unfaithful husband, a sometimes resentful teenage daughter, and a heart that aches with painful, poignant memories. And as Susan faces her uncertain future, she realizes that she must go back to her past. To the beachfront house where her sister welcomes her with open arms. To the only place she can truly call home...

    It wasn’t so bad that I had to put it down, but it also wasn’t so good that I couldn’t put it down.
  • Too Much “Southern Sass” for me

    Maybe I was just not in the mood for this book. Even though I thought the author did a good job telling the story of the dysfunctional family through the years, I just didn’t like them. Having been raised in the south didn’t help a bit either.

    I thought I had read every book of Doretha Benton Frank, not this one. What a great read. Everyone should have a Livii in their life.
