Set in the South Carolina Sea Islands, Nicole Seitz's
second novel follows the stories of two sisters. One is
seeking to recreate her life yet again and learns to truly
live from a group of Gullah nannies she meets on the
island. The other thinks she's got it all together until
her sister's imminent death from cancer causes her to re-
examine her own life and seek the healing and rebirth her
troubled sister managed to find on St. Anne's Island.
"This is another thing I know for a fact: a woman can't
be an island, not really. No, it's the touching we do in
other people's lives that matters when all is said and
done. The silly things we do for ourselves--shiny new cars
and jobs and money--they don't mean a hill of beans. Honor
taught me that. My soul sisters on this island taught me
that. And this is the story of true sisterhood. It's the
story of Honor, come and gone, and how one flawed woman
worked miracles in this mixed-up world."
