Garnering comparisons to Anne Rivers Siddons and Pat Conroy,
Patti Callahan Henry has woven her lyrical Southern voice
throughout the Lowcountry landscape. Now, as two women from
opposite sides of the same sea meet, a tale unfolds that will draw
you into the heart's remembrances--and the tender awakenings of
first love....
Twenty-seven-year-old Kara Larson is bogged down in the stress
of planning her elaborate wedding to a professional golfer. Still,
to fulfill the requirements of the Palmetto Pointe Junior Society,
she makes time in her busy schedule to visit an elderly woman at a
nursing home facility. Soon she finds herself mesmerized by the
singsong Irish lilt of ninety-six-year-old Maeve Mahoney as Maeve
recounts the rambling story of her first love back in Ireland. Or,
Kara begins to wonder, is she really retelling an ancient tale of
myth and legend? Waiting for the story to unfold in bits and
pieces, and trying to discern the underlying truth, Kara is drawn
in--and driven to remember her own first love: childhood neighbor
Jack Sullivan. Gradually she realizes that before she embarks on
her new life, she must find out how her own story--with Jack--will
end....
