In the Lowcountry landscape, as two women from opposite
sides of the same sea meet, a tale unfolds that will draw
readers into the heart's remembrances - and the tender
awakenings of first love.
Though bogged down in the stress of planning her elaborate
wedding to a professional golfer, twenty-seven-year-old
Kara Larson still makes time to visit ninety-six-year-old
Maeve Mahoney at her nursing home. And as Maeve recounts
the rambling story of her first love back in Ireland, Kara
is driven to remember her own first love: childhood
neighbor Jack Sullivan.
