Afterward, we'd rock away the nights on each other's porches, laughing and
telling stories about hurricanes for a million ... They have jogging clothes, which
aren't the same as their workout clothes, which aren't the same as their weekend
clothes and, Lord have mercy on us, every stitch they own is black! ... Down here
in the Lowcountry, we just prefer to take things a little slower and savor each
moment.

New York Times bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank takes readers on a rollicking ride in this Lowcountry tale about a woman whose unconventional friends and family show her the real meaning of unconditional love. Anna Lutz Abbot considers herself independent and happy—until one steamy summer when her collegiate daughter comes home a very different person, her wild and wonderful ex-husband shows up on her doorstep, and her flamboyant new best friend takes up with Anna’s father. And the already hot temperatures are cranked up another ten degrees by Anna’s own fling with Arthur, who is, heaven help her, a Yankee. Now Anna must face the fact that she isn’t as in control of her life as she’d thought. And she must find a way to deal with the whole truth—not just the comfortable parts.
