Nothing like the salty, mineral taste of home
Dorothea Benton Frank is one of my favorite authors. I love the stories and the places where the stories are set. I adore Charleston and the coast of South Carolina so it helps the stories come alive. I believe I have read all of her novels and can’t wait for more. Keep up the great work!
