The rich atmosphere of South Carolina, Hilton Head and
Charleston, is brought vividly to life by Dorothea Benton Frank, a
South Carolina native who, with her exquisitely evocative prose,
makes you smell the sea air, see the palmettos, and savor the sweet
tea, but this time it comes with a side of antipasti.
Hilton Head, a South Carolina retirement heaven--at least it's
supposed to be, but for Big Al and Connie Russo, the move from New
Jersey to this southern paradise has been fraught with just a few
complications. Especially for their daughter, Grace.
Well, that's what she likes to be called. Her family insists on
Maria Graziella. Seriously, enough with the Neapolitan. That might
have been okay in New Jersey, but now it's just plain silly, and
Grace at thirty-two is, horror of horrors, still unmarried. No
wonder her family drives her crazy. Well, that and the fact that
she's living with the man she would marry if they both weren't so
commitment phobic. Michael is a doctor and a scientist and Grace is
pretty sure he's also an atheist. Over the years, Grace has become
a bit ambivalent about her faith, but her family is as
old-fashioned Italian as they come. So the stage is set for a major
showdown that just might change Grace's outlook on life, family,
and the New South.
