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… 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…

I loved the character of Susan. She always kept her humor in spite of being kicked around at times. The relationship with her daughter never faltered no matter what. Also was informative about what the Lowcountry was as well as vivid descriptions of everything. I always like books that go back and forth between eras and the author really held it together. Family dynamics were so great as well as brutally honest. I am impressed with the author and plan on reading her other works.
Great low country read!
The story reflects environment and memories as central to our path as adults. The characters are likeable and believable but quirky.
I loved this book and hated to put it down when I finished.
I read Return to Sullivan’s Island a few years ago and then decided I needed to read the first book. Ms. Frank’s books are full of wit and humor, and yet so full of bittersweet truths that you just have to keep reading. If you haven’t been to the Low Country of South Carolina, you will feel like you have after reading Sullivan’s Island. So sad that the book world lost a wonderful author too soon.
I liked the stories of a close knit family
Loved this book!
Good read, realistic, funny, tragic….everything a book needs to keep your interest.
I enjoy Dorothea’s writing and her book’s setting.
