Bought on June 12th at the book signing at Litchfield Books in Pawleys Island! :D ( ) Jackie and 10 year old Charlie have returned to her mother and childhood home in South Carolina after she is tragically widowed. Told from alternating points of view of the mother and daughter, we see the interplay between parent and child as they each grapple with their situations. The characters of a close neighbor friend, a new neighbor, and Jackie's father, who has been estranged from her mother for many years, add some dimension to the story. The somewhat predictable resolution is satisfying just the same. To this northerner's ear, the reader of the audio version did a fine job of conveying the southern atmosphere. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
When Jimmy McMullen, a fireman with the NYFD, is killed in the line of duty, his wife, Jackie, and ten-year-old son, Charlie, are devastated. Charlie idolized his dad, and now the outgoing, curious boy has become quiet and reserved. Trusting in the healing power of family, Jackie decides to return to her childhood home on Sullivans Island. Crossing the bridge from the mainland, Jackie and Charlie enter a world full of wonder and magic--lush green and chocolate grasslands and dazzling red, orange, and magenta evening skies; the heady pungency of Lowcountry Pluff mud and fresh seafood on the grill; bare toes snuggled in warm sand and palmetto fronds swaying in gentle ocean winds.
