On Folly Beach
On Folly Beach | Karen White
Folly Beach, South Carolina, has survived despite hurricanes and war. But it's the personal battles of Folly Beach's residents that have left the most scars, and why a young widow has been beckoned there to heal her own... To most people, Folly Beach is simply the last barrier island before reaching the great Atlantic. To some, it's a sanctuary for lost souls, which is why Emmy Hamilton's mother encourages her to buy the local book store, Folly's Finds, hoping it will distract Emmy from the loss of her husband. Emmy is at first resistant. So much has already changed. But after finding love letters and an image of a beautiful bottle tree in a box of used books from Folly's Finds, she decides to take the plunge. But the seller insists on one condition: Emmy must allow Lulu, the late owner's difficult sister, to continue selling her bottle trees from its back yard. For the most part Emmy ignores Lulu as she sifts through the love letters, wanting to learn more. But the more she discovers about the letters, the more she understands Lulu. As details of a possible murder and a mysterious disappearance during WWII are revealed, the two women discover that circumstances beyond their control, sixty years apart, have brought them together, here on Folly Beach. And it is here that their war-ravaged hearts can find hope for a second chance...

I enjoy Karen White novels and this did not disappoint — a gripping southern drama using a Folly Beach, South Carolina bookstore as the background for its setting.. modern day intertwining with the WWll era.
Strong female characters, family secrets and a delicious mystery dating back to 1942 made this a great pick! 🌊

A great story of bravery, grief, redemption, love, forgiveness, and...learning when to move on. A perfect blending of history and mystery that will keep the pages turning.

Close your eyes and pick a Karen White book and odds are you'll find yourself by the sea. I love the locations she selects for each of her books. 🐚🌊

First time reading this author who writes about locations near where I live. I am thoroughly enjoying it so far and it would only be better if I were reading it on a beach! Bonus points: the main character is a librarian who owns a bookstore.

ferskner What?!?!?!? Was she named Halle?? 8y

Jess_Read_This I love Karen White!! Check out her Tradd Street series. I really enjoyed those and they are set in Charleston. 8y
Halle770 @Jess_Read_This thanks! My library has those for free on audio through Hoopla. I think I will try those next! 8y
