Fast and easy read. Humorous and delightful.

[James Freeman]

A delightful and intriguing tale of people being people that ranges from the Georgia coast to New York City and back again. Ms. Hawthorne has wonderful talent for creating believable characters and a clear, concise style.

[Sheila Segal]

A barrier island almost fairy tale. Perfect for a day you are stuck in because of weather. All the characters end up getting their dream. The bad guy becomes a hero

I loved this tale! Because I have been to many of the barrier islands off the coast of Georgia, I appreciate the stories that the island and the people who have called it home have to tell! This one was a fun read because of the setting (and the setting shifts)...and because of the characters. Grace Hawthorne has a way with storytelling and dialog. I enjoyed it!

[Morgan James]

Once again, Grace Hawthorne tells an entertaining Southern story peopled by unforgettable characters. Great read.
