Mary Alice Monroe, "New York Times" bestselling author of the
Lowcountry Summer trilogy, returns to her beloved South with "Beach
House Memories," the sequel to "The Beach House," now in paperback
Autumn brings haunting beauty to the sun-soaked dunes on Isle of
Palms, where Olivia "Lovie" Rutledge lives in her beloved Primrose
Cottage. As the seasons change, Lovie remembers one special
summer...
In 1974, America is changing, but Charleston remains eternally the
same. When Lovie married aristocratic, well-connected businessman
Stratton Rutledge, she turned over her fortune and fate to his
control. But she refused to relinquish one thing: her family's old
seaside cottage. Precious summers with her children on the barrier
island are Lovie's refuge from social expectations and her
overbearing husband's philandering. Here, she is the "Turtle Lady,"
tending the loggerhead turtles that lay their eggs in the warm
night sand and then slip back into the sea.
Then, in the summer of '74, biologist Russell Bennett visits to
research the loggerheads. Their shared interest brings them
together, and soon it blooms into a passionate, profound
love--forcing Lovie to face an agonizing decision. Stratton's
influence is far-reaching, and if she dares to dream beyond a
summer affair, she risks losing her reputation, her wealth, even
her children.
This emotional tale of a strong woman torn between duty and desire,
between tradition and change, is an empowering journey through the
seasons of self-discovery. Until this autumn, this time of winds
and tides, of holding on and letting go...
