In the powerful and heartwarming conclusion to her bestselling Lowcountry Summer trilogy, New York Times author Mary Alice Monroe brings her readers back to the charm and sultry beauty of Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, to reveal how the pull of family bonds and true love is as strong and steady as the tides.
This novel, part three of the Lowcounty Summer series, features strong environmental themes. According to Moultrie News:
This comes on the heels of the five-year anniversary of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, an environmental disaster that continues to impact coastal landscape and wildlife, including dolphins.
Monroe’s impetus for writing an entire series inspired by the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin was learning that 49 percent of resident dolphins in South Carolina are deemed “not healthy” by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association (NOAA).
