About this ebook
New York Times bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank evokes a lush plantation in the heart of modern-day South Carolina—where family ties and hidden truths run as deep and dark as the mighty Edisto River....
Caroline Wimbley Levine always swore she’d never go home again. But now, at her brother’s behest, she has returned to South Carolina to see about Mother—only to find that the years have not changed the Queen of Tall Pines Plantation. Miss Lavinia is as maddeningly eccentric as ever—and absolutely will not suffer the questionable advice of her children. This does not surprise Caroline. Nor does the fact that Tall Pines is still brimming with scandals and secrets, betrayals and lies. But she soon discovers that something is different this time around. It lies somewhere in the distance between her and her mother—and in her understanding of what it means to come home....

The main character is spineless, vapid and boring. The dialogue is trite, the characters are one-dimensional, and the story is tired. The attempt to convey characters utilizing Gullah borders on racist. Our protagonist falls to absolute pieces upon learning her son may have a learning disability, and then spends the rest of the book ignoring him in order to indiscriminately screw every other male character who presents himself. This book is best used for kindling. Don't waste your time with it.

I would like this wonderful author to continue the plantation series with these remarkable characters. What becomes of fannie mae and trips daughters, how does matthew and his bride fare, what about jenkens and his life, and eric. I want this book to continue with the finality such as Ladies Of The Club.
