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...

I live near Pawleys. It makes me so happy as I read it to recognize places and people! I caught myself many times saying "I know her!" Or "I've eaten there!" It was the first book that I read by Miss Frank and I'm currently on the 8th! (Getting from our local library) She's my favorite now! Sorry Pat Conroy! You've been replaced!

Strong, vulnerable women who help each other survive and move forward are well portrayed with understated, quirky, often funny story telling.
