A long way from Prince of Tides but the echoes are there. There is drowning in this story but redemption as well. A few questions left unanswered or answered indirectly. In the end a feel good story. (

Interesting info about sweetgrass and its importance for basket builders and the Carolina shoreline. Mama June keeps a secret about her dead son that causes issues for her living son. Her husband has a stroke, wants the land to stay in the family, a son who wants to help but has nightmares about how his brother died, and an aunt more interested in selling the land to developers. Liked the solution of giving the land to conservation groups. So sorry that Mama June's friendship with the roommate- aunt never got properly corrected. (

Love this author but this book was same plot as her other books.Fractured family comes back to save the homestead. Remove the turtles from one book and insert plot saving Sweetgrass. The book was predictable. If you want a light summer story this is enjoyable,the character development was good. Difficult to get through this one. (

A lovely story of a woman fighting to keep her home plantation and put her family back together again after her husband's stroke. Enjoyed it. (
