Experience the wild beauty and sultry magic of New York
Times bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank's Carolina
Lowcountry—where the pull of family is as powerful as the
ocean tides and love can strike faster than lightning in
summer. . . . Folly Beach Home is the place that knows us
best. . . . A woman returns to the past to find her future
in this enchanting new tale of loss, acceptance, family, and
love. With its sandy beaches and bohemian charms, surfers
and suits alike consider Folly Beach to be one of South
Carolina's most historic and romantic spots. It is also the
land of Cate Cooper's childhood, the place where all the
ghosts of her past roam freely. Cate never thought she'd
wind up in this tiny cottage named the Porgy House on this
breathtakingly lovely strip of coast. But circumstances have
changed, thanks to her newly dead husband whose
financial—and emotional—bull and mendacity have left Cate
homeless, broke, and unmoored. Yet Folly Beach holds more
than just memories. Once upon a time another woman found
unexpected bliss and comfort within its welcoming arms. An
artist, writer, and colleague of the revered George
Gershwin, Dorothy Heyward enjoyed the greatest moments of
her life at Folly with her beloved husband, DuBose. And
though the Heywards are long gone, their passion and spirit
lingers in every mango sunset and gentle ocean breeze. And
for Cate, Folly, too, holds the promise of unexpected
fulfillment when she is forced to look at her life and the
zany characters that are her family anew. To her surprise,
she will discover that you can go home again. Folly Beach
doesn't just hold the girl she once was . . . it also holds
the promise of the woman she's always wanted—and is finally
ready—to become. Folly Beach, filled with the irresistible
charm, saucy wit, and lush atmosphere that have won her the
devotion of fans and propelled her books to bestsellerdom,
is vintage Dorothea Benton Frank.
