Synopsis: From the New York Times Bestselling Author of ON OCEAN BOULEVARD
Known for her moving characters and emotional honesty, New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe brings readers two beautifully rendered stories that explores the fragile yet enduring bond between mothers and daughters
THE BEACH HOUSE
Caretta Rutledge thought she’d left her Southern roots and troubled family far behind. But an unusual request from her mother—coming just as her own life is spinning out of control—has Cara heading back to the scenic Lowcountry of her childhood summers. Upon reconnecting with her mother, she will learn life’s most precious lessons—true love involves sacrifice, family is forever and the mistakes of the past can be forgiven.
SWIMMING LESSONS
Toy Sooner has dealt with enough rough waves in her troubled past. It’s only been through the enduring love of a close-knit group of women on this tiny island that she’s finally started to find her footing. But as new challenges in her career arise for this young single mother, the choices and demons of her past will catch up to her.
Titles originally published in 2002 and 2007.
