Summer Wind
Summer Wind | Mary Alice Monroe
6 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
"The Summer Wind" is the second book in Monroe s Lowcountry Summer trilogy, following the "New York Times" bestselling "The Summer Girls." This series is a poignant and heartwarming story of three half-sisters and their grandmother, who is determined to help them rediscover their southern roots and family bonds. It s midsummer and Eudora, nicknamed Dora, is staying at Sea Breeze, the family s ancestral home on Sullivan s Island. For years, Dora has played the role of the perfect wife and mother in a loveless marriage. Now her husband filed for divorce, her child is diagnosed with autism, and her house is on the market. Dora s facade collapses under the weight of her grief and she suffers broken heart syndrome. Mamaw and the girls rally around Dora but it s up to Dora to heal herself as she spends the summer prowling the beach, discovering the secrets of the island and her heart. This is a summer of discovery for all the women of Sea Breeze. Carson returns from Florida to face life-changing decisions, Lucille confronts a health scare, and an unexpected visitor has Harper reconsidering her life s direction. When tropical storm winds batter the island, the women must band together and weather the tempest both the one outside their windows and the raging sea of emotions within each of them. They must learn again what it means to be a sister. It is up to Mamaw to keep the light burning at Sea Breeze to guide the girls through the lies, the threats, and the rocky waters of indecision to home."

@JoScho

monalyisha Ah! I‘m up really late (which I‘m sure I‘ll be kicking myself for in the morning...but in my defense, I was looking over my syllabus for an online course that opened today). But it‘s worth the extra cups of coffee I‘ll need to drink because now I get to see this post in real time! 😉 I hope you like everything! (edited) 5y
Judybskt I‘m up too late too!! I love everything. You are amazing!! 🙋‍♀️ 5y

The Summer Wind : set at the beach
The Summer Girls: set in summer.

I‘ve been busy listening to a few beachy audiobooks, and absent from Litsy. Volunteering is hard work.

AnnaDesourdy My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago and I brought my book with me as a sort of comfort but I wasn't able to read when I was sitting there with her in her last few hours. Hope your dad is OK! 8y

Remember when we talked about #nobooksaugust because of all the books I bought in July? Well, that's over. This is my haul from the bookstore today, and I only went on to get a kids book for my Great Niece. Oh and I also bought The Secret Wisdom of the Earth because @MrBook said so. #fail #idon'tcare

EliseWhitmore Mr Brown 👏👏 8y
