The Lowcountry Summer Series - Book 1
The Summer Girls
“Magical! Mary Alice Monroe’s writing is always sensitive and true and as inspiring as the natural wonder about which she writes. This luminous tale—set in the South Carolina Lowcountry that we both love so deeply—was hard to put down.”
Dorothea Benton Frank, New York Times bestselling author
Three sisters reunite on Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina after years of separation in this heartwarming first novel in a new trilogy from a beloved author.
Eighty-year-old Marietta Muir is a dowager of Charleston society who has retired to her historic summer home on Sullivan's Island. At the onset of summer, Marietta, "Mamaw," seeks to gather her three granddaughters-Carson, Eudora, and Harper-with the intent to reunite them after years apart. Monroe explores the depths and complexities of sisterhood, friendship, and the power of forgiveness. The Summer Girls is a perfect beach read and anyone who "enjoys such fine Southern voices as Pat Conroy will add the talented Monroe to their list of favorites" (Booklist).
