Dorothea Benton Frank returns to the enchanted landscape of
South Carolina's Lowcountry made famous in her beloved New
York Times bestseller Sullivans Island to tell the story of
the next generation of Hamiltons and Hayes.
Newly graduated from college, aspiring writer Beth Hayes is
elected by her family to house-sit the Island Gamble. Buoyed
by sentimental memories of growing up on this tiny sandbar
seemingly untouched by time, Beth vows to give herself over
to the Lowcountry force and discover the wisdom it holds.
Just as she vows she will never give into the delusional
world of white picket fences, minivans, and eternal love,
she meets Max Mitchell. All her convictions and plans begin
to unravel with lightning speed.
There is so much about life and her family's past that she
does not know. Her ignorance and naivetÉ nearly cost her
both her inheritance and her family's respect, but Beth
finds unexpected friends to help her through the disaster
she faces. If everything happens for a reason, then Beth's
return to Sullivans Island teaches her that betrayal and
tragedy are most easily handled when you surround yourself
with loyal family and friends in a magical place that loves
you so much it wants to claim you as its own.
