Plantation: A Lowcountry Tale

Dorothea Benton Frank

Jove, 2001

Love It!!
I love this book. I think that it is well written and I think that it is written for today's southern woman. I do think it was a bit much on the yhahs. But I do think that it is entertaining and funny. I laughed, I cried, and I loved this book!

True Stories from a Lowcountry Cop: Tales from the Charleston County Beat

Reginald E. Sharpe

The History Press, 2008

Wonderful first book
I thought this book was entertaining and insightful. This quick read would appeal to anyone interested in knowing what it is really like to be a police officer. It certainly opened my eyes to what law enforcement officers encounter on a daily basis in my hometown. I ...

Isle of Palms: A Lowcountry Tale

Dorothea Benton Frank

Great beach book
I liked Isle of Palms much better than the first Dorothea Benton Frank book I read. This one was much more of a beachy, fun book than Plantation. The book is about a woman named Anna who has had some very hard ups and downs throughout her life and decides to make ...
