TWICE IN A LIFETIMEBy Marta PerryDescription:When her family calls Georgia Lee Bodine home to Charleston, she knows there's trouble. Her beloved grandmother has hired a Yankee lawyer to carry out eccentric requests--and unearth a family secret. Georgia plans to send Matthew Harper packing, until she discovers how much the widowed father cares abotu her grandmother. And that his heart is even more deeply guarded than her own. As they work together on the Bodine secret, they uncover a surprise about themselves: that love really can strike twice in a lifetime. Book Takeaway:I hope readers will take away from the book the idea that is voiced by Miz Callie: that the past is to remember and learn from, not to live in. Why the author wrote this book:I wrote this book out of my fascination with the history and nature of Charleston's barrier islands. I also wanted to create a woman like my grandmother, strong in faith, determined to do the right thing, dedicated to family. |
