About this listen
Three sisters reunite on Sullivan’s Island off the coast of South Carolina after years of separation in this heartwarming first novel in a new trilogy from a beloved author.
80-year-old Marietta Muir is a dowager of Charleston society who has retired to her historic summer home on Sullivan’s Island. At the onset of summer, Marietta - "Mamaw" - seeks to gather her three granddaughters - Carson, Eudora, and Harper - with the intent to reunite them after years apart.

Another great Mary Alice Monroe book.
I originally bought this as a soft cover book many years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was an absolute joy to have the author herself narrate this. The undertones of conservation are well developed as are the family ties with their 'warts and all' approach.

A Lovely Read
I enjoyed this book which I picked at random for the 'plus catalogue' option. I found it a refreshing, easy going, story of family and how we work through life.

Too slow
The southern accent put me to sleep and there just was no point to the story

Not my cup of tea
Please remember this review is my opinion only. I didn't like this book much at all. I have given 2 stars - 1 for the book, and 1 for me finishing it. The storyline was shallow and repetitive - like the name of the car or that the lunch board is written in chalk, for example. The author seems to want to impress by smothering in language which was often unnecessary and often out of place. The characters have no continuity. Did Harper stay locked in her room doing the dolphin story towards the end? There was no accountability of the grandmother's participation in the fishing rod saga, but all blame laid on a 9 year old, even by the grandmother. The point that so much of the story focuses around a dolphin, and that Carson seems to think she knows more about dolphins than a biologist who works with them is confusing. If the main character development had gone with trying to work with the autist boy, I might have felt the story more believable. And I found the narration boring I actually have the next book in the series but I'm not going there.

Leave the narration to the professionals
I hate it when authors think they can tell the story better than the professionals very poor performance. It totally distracted from the story and I can't tell if it was a good one or a bad one but I won't be listening to the second book.
