The Summer Wind is the second book in Monroe’s Lowcountry
Summer trilogy, following the New York Times bestselling The
Summer Girls. This series is a poignant and heartwarming
story of three half-sisters and their grandmother, who is
determined to help them rediscover their southern roots and
family bonds.
It’s midsummer and Eudora, nicknamed Dora, is staying at Sea
Breeze, the family’s ancestral home on Sullivan’s Island.
For years, Dora has played the role of the perfect wife and
mother in a loveless marriage. Now her husband filed for
divorce, her child is diagnosed with autism, and her house
is on the market. Dora’s facade collapses under the weight
of her grief and she suffers “broken heart syndrome.”
Mamaw and the girls rally around Dora—but it’s up to Dora to
heal herself as she spends the summer prowling the beach,
discovering the secrets of the island and her heart. This is
a summer of discovery for all the women of Sea Breeze.
Carson returns from Florida to face life-changing decisions,
Lucille confronts a health scare, and an unexpected visitor
has Harper reconsidering her life’s direction.
When tropical storm winds batter the island, the women must
band together and weather the tempest—both the one outside
their windows and the raging sea of emotions within each of
them. They must learn again what it means to be a sister. It
is up to Mamaw to keep the light burning at Sea Breeze to
guide the girls through the lies, the threats, and the rocky
waters of indecision to home.
