A touching story of family, faith, and cultural identity in the New South.
It is sassy but not cynical, wise but not wiseacre, and kind, not cruel

A great read! Frank captures so much about faith and doubt...it is very real. I found myself in tears a few times as her writing hit home, and I was left with a stronger faith when I turned the finally page. Wonderful!

Really enjoyed this book. Religion, especially Catholicism, gets a bad rap in so much literature. This book was an honest look at the effect of religion, both good and bad, in the family dynamic. And a lovely romance, too.

I have read and loved all of Dorothea Benton Frank's books but this one has to be my absolute favorite! I've never related to any character in ANY book I've read like I did with Grace. Her description of her Italian/Catholic family's daily life and holidays had me smiling throughout this entire book! I loved it so much that I just couldn't put this one down and wound up finishing it at 5 a.m! Absolutely LOVED IT! (I was tempted not to post it but to keep it and read it again someday but since I loved it so much decided to share it so someone else could hopefully enjoy it as much as I did!)

I loved this book even though I figured out the plot early. It made me laugh and cry and Grace just tickled me to no end. Well worth reading.

I always enjoy her books because I'm familiar with many of the places she writes about. This one was a departure from her usual Low Country books, but just as enjoyable. A story about family, love, and faith.

Family relationships, love, miracles, and a fun read.

Not a typical DBF Low Country Book. However, I enjoyed it immensely.

If you're from Charleston or just wish you were, Dorothea Benton Frank is the author for you. After every book, I'm reassured I still have pluff mud in my veins and if I close my eyes and inhale I can catch the scent of magnolia with a little blend of tea olive.
