Known for her moving characters and emotional honesty,
Mary Alice Monroe brings readers a beautifully rendered
story that explores the fragile yet enduring bond between
mothers and daughters
Caretta Rutledge thought she'd left her Southern roots and
troubled family far behind. But an unusual request from her
mother—coming just as her own life is spinning out of
control—has Cara heading back to the scenic Lowcountry of
her childhood summers. Before long, the rhythms of the
island open her heart in wonderful ways as she repairs the
family beach house, becomes a bona fide "turtle lady" and
renews old acquaintances long thought lost. But it is in
reconnecting with her mother that she will learn life's most
precious lessons—true love involves sacrifice, family is
forever and the mistakes of the past can be forgiven.
