Emily's mother deserted the family when Emily was a child; the only family member she feels close to is her older brother Buddy. When he tragically dies, she feels adrift within her own family and the only thing she really cares about are the dogs. Into Emily's overwhelmingly masculine universe arrives Lulu Wentworth, the privileged daughter of one of Charleston's ruling class. When Lulu's father comes down to the Parmenter estate to look at the Boykins he's heard so much about, Lulu comes with him. For Lulu, it's love at first sight: the land, the marshes, the smell of salt water on the air, and above all, the dogs. Lulu is recovering from an experience she won't talk about and the Wentworths have tried everything to make her well. But the only thing she now wants is to live on the dog farm and help in the kennels. Much to Emily's displeasure, Walter Permenter jumps at the chance to have a real child of "society" enter his very own family. Emily doesn't need another female around, and she certainly doesn't want one around who loves the dogs as much as she does. The two reach an uneasy truce that soon turns to true friendship as they learn each others secrets and share the secrets of the low country.</P> 859089 1 1 2007 Sweetwater Creek total:819|5:133|4:290|3:293|2:83|1:20| 819 2890 1078 109 3 1 false false Sat Jan 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Oct 31 22:43:55 -0700 2008 Sun Jan 04 02:50:03 -0800 2009 There were times this book made me ...more...]]> 2 1 false false Thu Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 13:14:55 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 14:56:57 -0700 2008 1 4 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 06:45:55 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 07:08:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jul 04 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Apr 13 17:41:49 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 17:42:46 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jul 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 11:23:55 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 17:15:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Oct 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 17:06:26 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 10:14:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Aug 31 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Tue Nov 25 10:11:21 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 10:11:39 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 05:59:54 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 05:39:48 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Jun 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 10:53:44 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 08:24:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false true Sun Sep 07 13:39:03 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 13:39:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Jul 01 13:12:36 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 13:28:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Oct 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 12:55:39 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 14:29:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jun 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 17:58:37 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 18:07:40 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 24 10:20:36 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 09:01:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Sep 07 14:49:08 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 14:52:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon May 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 16:19:59 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 06:48:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Aug 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 12:58:42 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 21:59:12 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 2 false false Mon Mar 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 05:54:43 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 06:51:27 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Jan 17 14:46:48 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 14:47:02 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Jul 27 10:34:05 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 27 10:34:05 -0700 2007 more...]]> http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=717709
