To the only place she can truly call home…

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.
DBF is always fun . A great fun read and a break from all the heavy reading.
Loved it.
I wrote a review on this book already
Interesting enough to finish reading it but not really that well written.
Dorothea never disappoints! Her books are simply delicious
I like the strong women characters
Like low country stories
Loved it!
Love all her books. Always a great read.
Just okay. Not one of her best.
I enjoyed reading this book.
She places you right there in the Low Country. She is one of my all time favorite author. I always hate it when her books end.
Reading a Benton Frank novelist is like taking your best friend home with you for tea and cookies. I have read all her books and one is better than the other. So take some of your friends home for a great read.
