 Not the best book by this author September 3, 2008
I was very excited to get this book when it came out since I am a big fan of Dot Benton Frank's work. While this story does invoke the beautiful images of South Carolina coastal life - the charm of many of Dot's other books is missing. I could not wrap myself around much of the reasons behind the plot of the young southern girl fleeing her home town and everyone she loved. It seemed rather two dimensional to me. It also seemed far fetched that the secret she left town with would not have been revealed to her loved ones much sooner. I didn't relate to this character or cheer her on or feel particularly sorry for her either. This is a very different reaction I had from my sentiments towards most of Dot's other main characters. I do look forward to reading more of Dot's books but I hope that the plots don't seem as forced as this one did to me.

I have read all of Dorothea Benton Frank's novels. I am a fan because she always accurately includes the history and local color of the Low Country. While this was not my favorite, I enjoyed reading it while vacationing on Isle of Palms.
 Easy read August 8, 2008
I read this book for a book club I belong to. It was refreshingly easy to read and a book that I didn't want to put down.
Great Read July 30, 2008
I really enjoyed this book. I'm from Charleston, SC and always feel such kinship with all the female characters from DBK books. She does such a wonderful job of describing the Charleston scenery and the details that she provides are so accurate. I wish I could write that way. I read this book in about two days and couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for great summer read.

This book was fantastic.I enjoy her work a lot. Since I am a Southern woman, I can relate to her subjects. I lent the book to a friend, now she wants to read more of Frank's books.
