Made me laugh when Daphne made fun of Tri Delts.

Working on filling in another series.

The southern belles offer you laughs in the Low Country. Rebecca is down and out and leaves Charleston after her husband has taken her two kids and her life. She lands at a local art gallery in Pawley’s island to sell some of her work where she meets Huey which hires her to work at the art gallery and the nosey Abigail (retired attorney), steps in to help the underdog under covering mischief to help Rebecca. A light humorous read..

Dorothea Benton Frank is one of my guilty pleasures. When I should be reading something "literary" or something for work, I curl up with one of her books and take a little vacation. She does a great job of making the low country of the Carolinas sing a siren song. The smell of the sea and the mud, the sound of waves against the shore and ceiling fans in the night, the taste of shrimp 'n' grits or fried everything...all are vivid and tantalizing in Frank's books.

This story is about the healing power of friendship and the importance of our "inner makeup" as opposed to our outer shells we show the world once we're gussied up. A great read!

Not the best from Dorothea in my opinion. But it was still enjoyable.
