Experience the sultry Southern atmosphere of Atlanta and
the magic of the Carolina Lowcountry in this funny and
poignant tale of one audacious woman’s quest to find the
love she deserves, from New York Times bestselling author
Dorothea Benton Frank.
Leslie Anne Greene Carter
is The Last Original Wife among her husband Wesley’s wildly
successful Atlanta social set. His cronies have all traded
in the mothers of their children they promised to love and
cherish—’til death did them part—for tanned and toned young
Barbie brides.
If losing the social life and close
friends she adored wasn’t painful enough, a series of
setbacks shake Les’s world and push her to the edge. She’s
had enough of playing the good wife to a husband who thinks
he’s doing her a favor by keeping her around. She’s not
going to waste another minute on people she doesn’t care to
know. Now, she’s going to take some time for herself—in the
familiar comforts and stunning beauty of Charleston, her
beloved hometown. In her brother’s stately historic home,
she’s going to reclaim the carefree girl who spent lazy
summers sharing steamy kisses with her first love on
Sullivans Island. Along Charleston’s live oak- and
palmetto-lined cobblestone streets, under the Lowcountry’s
dazzling blue sky, Les will indulge herself with icy
cocktails, warm laughter, divine temptation and bittersweet
memories. Daring to listen to her inner voice, she will
realize what she wants . . . and find the life of which
she’s always dreamed.
Told in the alternating voices
of Les and Wes, The Last Original Wife is classic
Dorothea Benton Frank: an intoxicating tale of family,
friendship, self-discovery, and love, that is as salty as a
Lowcountry breeze and as invigorating as a dip in Carolina
waters on a sizzling summer day.
