Publisher's Summary:

Instantly upon meeting them at the old beach house on Sullivan's Island, which they co-own, Anny knows that she has found home and family. They vow that, when the time comes, they will find a place where they can live together by the sea.

Bad things begin to happen, a hurricane, a fire, deaths, but still the remaining Scrubs cling together. They are watched over and bolstered by Camilla Curry, the heart and core of their group, always the healer. Anny herself allows Camilla to enfold and to care for her. It is the first time she has felt this kind of love and support.

Critic Reviews:

"She cannot be surpassed in evoking a kind of life peculiar to the South, with its emphasis on grace, good manners and stoic endurance. Her fans will find Siddons's narrative charisma intact and blooming." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Insipid

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Nothing. The story is so boringly awful. A bunch of spoiled, rich people and their lives make for a boring story. There was no dramatic tension to this story until the next to the last chapter and even classifying it as dramatic tension is a stretch.

Would you ever listen to anything by Anne Rivers Siddons again?

Probably not.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Dana Ivey?

No suggestions.

Any additional comments?

I cannot recommend this book under any circumstances.

Great Voice!

Dana Ivey was fabulous! I would love to hear more books read that she reads.
