Set in the steamy, stormy landscape of South Carolina, Sullivan's Island tells the unforgettable story of one woman's courageous journey toward truth.

Born and raised on idyllic Sullivan's Island, Susan Hayes navigated through her turbulent childhood with humor, spunk, and characteristic Southern sass. But years later, she is a conflicted woman with an unfaithful husband, a sometimes resentful teenage daughter, and a heart that aches with painful, poignant memories. And as Susan faces her uncertain future, she realizes that she must go back to her past. To the beachfront house where her sister welcomes her with open arms. To the only place she can truly call home.

I Am Hooked on This Author!

Couldn't put this book down and you know a book is really good when reading it makes you laugh out loud!! I have become addicted to Dorthea Benton Frank's writing. I have visited the areas that she writes about and reading her books makes me what to go back to South Carolina as soon as I can.

Hard to put down.

What a pleasant surprise. I read Isle of Palms (2 1/2-3 stars)so I was not expecting to love this work by Ms. Frank so much. The flow of her voice is gripping. There were times I wanted to take a break but found I could not put this book down. The tales of the Hamilton family in 1963 and 1999-2000 were enthralling. I feel Ms. Frank handled the good and bad times of the 1960s very well; with great respect and honor for all those involved. The intensity of family was a wonder to behold. I also found it interesting how Ms. Frank told the story of the entire Hamilton family but yet was able to decide which family's members to keep a mystery (yet fully a part of the story). I do not usually "jump ahead" in my readings but this story was so gripping I found myself inpatient to find out what becomes of the family at certain times of their lives. Thank you Ms. Frank for introducing to us and sharing the Hamilton family with us.

Just a Terrific Warm Story!

Sullivan's Island is truly a wonderful novel that is straight from the heart about family life. Ms. Frank's real gift is evident in her ability to create such a believable and likeable heroine. The novel is set in the Deep South and if you have ever traveled and spent time in that beautiful area this story will bring back memories of the ocean and marshes of the South. The book is full of the local color and flavor of Charleston's barrier islands and the author does a wonderful job of evoking the laid-back atmosphere of this area. All in all, it was an entertaining read that is ideal for an easy at the beach. I'd gladly recommend this book to all my friends.

A wonderful moving story

My neighbor gave this book to take along to the beach. She insisted that I would love it and that it was a great beach read. Well, she was right. Sullivan's Island was a wonderful, moving story. There were bits of humorous moments that kept the story on a lighter tone. Sometimes I couldn't help but laugh out loud and at times I wanted to cry. The characters were seemed real to me and they were people that I could relate to. This book was consistently interesting, and it was hard to put down.
