Review of Sullivan's Island (Lowcountry Tales) (Paperback)

This is the first time I'm reviewing a book on Amazon, and I am apalled at the back and forth bickering between the bad reviews and the mostly rave reviews.I thought this book was simply...amazing.I loved DorotheaBenton Frank's writing style, her characters and her story.I read thisbook in two days, and that's only because I had started it right beforegoing to bed.I was so completely transported into a whole other world,away from the traffic noises and putrid smells of urban life, and smackright into the salty air of sea water and sweet pie smells in the ramblinghouse on Sullivan's Island.I felt like I was a part of the family, inthis great story.It's obvious that all the authors who gave anendorsement to this book felt the same way.Instead of ranting and ravingagainst them for giving their seal of approval, I am praising Pat Conroy,Bret Lott, Anne Rivers Siddons and Fern Michaels.They saw somethingspecial in this first-time author and they are completelly right.I wouldbuy Ms. Frank's next book in a heartbeat!I only hope it comes out soon,because I'm starting to feel restless in my urban environment again, and amin need of some good ole' southern comfort, 'eah!Much thanks to theauthor for giving her readers this wonderful debut novel!Keep themcoming!

Product Description
Set in the steamy, stormy landscape of South Carolina, Sullivan's Island tells the unforgettable story of one woman's courageous journey toward truth.

Born and raised on idyllic Sullivan's Island, Susan Hayes navigated through her turbulent childhood with humor, spunk, and characteristic Southern sass. But years later, she is a conflicted woman with an unfaithful husband, a sometimes resentful teenage daughter, and a heart that aches with painful, poignant memories. And as Susan faces her uncertain future, she realizes that she must go back to her past. To the beachfront house where her sister welcomes her with open arms. To the only place she can truly call home.
