Three granddaughters. Three months. One summer house.
In this enchanting trilogy set on Sullivan’s Island, South
Carolina, New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice
Monroe captures the complex relationships between three half
sisters scattered across the country—and a grandmother
determined to help them rediscover their family bonds.
Set amid ancient live oaks and palmettos, overlooking the
water, historic Sea Breeze is Marietta Muir’s ancestral
summer home. Her granddaughters once adored vacations there,
but it’s been years since they’ve visited. Mamaw fears once
she is gone, the family bonds will fray. The Muir family is
one of Charleston’s oldest and the blood of their pirate
captain ancestor runs strong, so Marietta drops a subtle
promise of loot—pearl necklaces, priceless antique
furniture, even the house—to lure her “summer girls” back to
the lowcountry.
For years, Carson Muir has drifted, never really settling,
certain only that a life without the ocean is a life half
lived. Adrift and penniless in California, Carson is the
first to return to Sea Breeze, wondering where things went
wrong . . . until the sea she loves brings her a minor
miracle. Her astonishing bond with a dolphin helps Carson
renew her relationships with her sisters and face the
haunting memories of her ill-fated father. As the rhythms of
the island open her heart, Carson begins to imagine the next
steps toward her future.
In this heartwarming novel, three sisters discover the true
treasures Sea Breeze offers as surprising truths are
revealed, mistakes forgiven, and precious connections made
that will endure long beyond one summer.
