Description
Dorothea Benton Frank presents a refreshingly honest and funny novel about friendship, family, and finding happiness by becoming who you're meant to be.
Catapulted from her home, her marriage and her children, artist Rebecca Simms has come to Pawleys Island, South Carolina, to hide herself from herself. Little does she know that on this “arrogantly shabby” family playground, she’ll encounter three people who will change her life: a wise and irresistible octogenarian who will pry her secrets from her, a gallery owner who caters to interior decorators and heaven save us, tourists, and a retired attorney from Columbia who’s complacent in her fat and sassy life until Rebecca’s stormy advent...

5By HarperE's grammaWow! Great book! I hesitated getting this book, because I've been reading all the books Mrs. Frank has written about the Charleston area. My son has been a Firefighter there for 6 years and I love that the places mentioned in the books are actual places we are familiar with when we are in the area! But Charleston was mentioned a lot. Also, I am familiar with the Myrtle Beach area, having spent several spring vacations there with my family. Can't wait to read new books by Mrs. Frank! I think I've read all up to now, so hurry and write more!Parleys island
