Frankwrites with genuine adoration for and authority on the South Carolina Lowcountry from which she sprang.[Her] stuff is never escapist fluffits the real deal. Atlanta Journal-Constitution Return to Tall Pines in the long-awaited sequel to Dorothea Benton Franks beloved bestseller Plantation. Lowcountry Summer is the story of the changing anatomy of a family after the loss of its matriarch, sparkling with the inimitable Dot Franks warmth and humor. The much-beloved New York Times bestselling author follows the recent success of Return to Sullivans Island, Bulls Island, and Land of Mango Sunsets with a tale rich in atmosphere and unforgettable scenes of Southern life, once again placing her at the dais, alongside Anne Rivers Siddons, Sue Monk Kidd, Rebecca Wells, Pat Conroy, and other masters of contemporary Southern fiction.

Because my lovely fiancé @BigHam got me a monthly used book box, I‘ve been reading some random stuff that I wouldn‘t usually have picked up. This is one of those books, and I have to say, I pretty much hate-read this one. But I‘ve gotten many other winners, so thanks babe! (Sorry) This one was just very War of Northern Aggression-ey, with lots of questionable Karen behavior. I definitely do not think I will pick up another from this author.

Mehso-so

This was a okay story, but the main character Caroline, had to be one of the worst characters. In particular, her comments about her 7 year old niece bothered me, her opinion of this small child and her looks was awful. Not to mention the things she thought of her other nieces....she was terrible.

Jess_Read_This @4thhouseontheleft @Libby1 I hardly ever get them by me (MI living hazard) so when I do it's exciting! I like the Ahi Tuna one where there is rice on the bottom, Ahi Tuna, avocado, veggies. Here's a great article on them w pictures: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5743abb0e4b0613b512b1bfd 7y
Jess_Read_This @4thhouseontheleft @Libby1 The closest place to me that serves it is about 45 min away, it's seasonal, and I have to take a ferry to get there 😂But I think some metro Detroit area restaurants might offer it, I'm still researching. (edited) 7y
Jess_Read_This @ferskner 💕😁💕It's definitely one of my happy places! 7y
alisiakae Oohhh, I have heard of that before, and forgot. Sounds yummy! I'm a big fan of "Buddha bowls" (my favorite version is brown rice or farro topped with chickpeas, cuke, tomato, mint, radish, lettuce, and a drizzle of Greek yogurt). 7y
Jess_Read_This @4thhouseontheleft Your favorite version of the Buddha Bowl sounds amazing!! I love chickpeas and add in mint with Greek yogurt.. I'm in heaven! 7y
saresmoore No surprise, but that's my favorite hobby, too! And now I'm gonna have to watch Grantchester on your recommendation. 7y
