About this ebook

Her despicable husband left her for a lingerie model who's barely more than a teenager, and her kids are busy with their own lives. But before Miriam Elizabeth Swanson can work herself up into a true snit about it all, her newest tenant, Liz, arrives from Birmingham with plenty of troubles of her own. Then Miriam meets a man named Harrison, who makes her laugh, makes her cry, and makes her feel like a brand-new woman.

It's almost too much for one Manhattan quasi-socialite to handle—so Miriam's escaping to the enchanted and mysterious land of Sullivans Island, deep in the low country of South Carolina, a place where she can finally get her head on straight—and perhaps figure out that pride is not what's going to keep her warm at night . . .

Ratings and reviews

It was like I was in the story. What a strong, wise woman Mellie was. She took life by the horns and decided to live a full, happy life and not be bitter because of other people's choices. I learned a lot from this book that I myself am willing to admit. People are going to be who they are so I am going to be me! I love life and refuse to allow negative people in it! James 4:14 I pray to visit Lowcountry one day. Thank you for the tour!

Excellent
