Set in NY and Sullivan's Island, SC, Miriam Swanson is a divorced woman with an estranged family. but some great friends. She has a wonderful mother in SC and a crazy talking bird. This is one of the author's best novels. You'll love it.

I have read all of the other books written by Dorothea Benton Frank and this for me was the best one. I have lived in Mt Pleasant, SC and her descriptions of the low country are very nostalgic.

This novel by Dorothea Benton Frank is one of her best.It is the story of Miriam who refinds herself on Sullivan's Island.She has been living in isolation except for her neighbors in her townhome in NYC and worrying about her "position" on her committees. She comes to some self realizations while visiting her mother on the island.She loosens up and has some fun! There were places that made me laugh out loud and moments that were so touching.I can't wait for D.B.Frank's next book.

Great book -- great setting -- Sullivan's Island -- pull up a chair and a tall glass of Long Island Ice Tea and watch the Mango Sunsets! The characters could be anyone's best friends. Take time to enjoy the book, it is was of Ms. Frank's best!
