I enjoyed this recording very much. Good guys and villains. Set in South Carolina, with a history of the Sweetgrass baskets included, this is a story of how memories can not just hurt, but lead to redemption. Moves right along. The characters are well drawn, and evoke your sympathy or antipathy. Mary Alice Monroe is an excellent writer of the "low-country" scene and culture.
