Usually, I do not have much to say about Dot Franks books. They start out pretty good but the endings are horrible. This is one of her better books. I truly enjoyed it. It was a story about a lawyer who was living on the island for a few years after the deaths of her husband and son. She is a good friend of Huey who owns an art gallery. He introduces Abigail to Rebecca, an artist. There is something about Abigail they like and they become friends. They discover Rebecca is estranged from her slime ball husband and 2 children. The divorce gave custody to the father unfairly. So Abigail decides to help Rebecca win her kids back as well as some compensation from her loser husband. There is a happiness and sadness and a revealed secret at the end. And for once the ending had closure and it made sense. The only part that didnt seem real to me was Abigail who didnt seem as devastated as one would be after losing their son and husband. Not to mention, she gets involved with the man who she had an affair with which contributed to the death of her husband. So, I am giving this a 4. I liked the characters and the story and it was by far the best Low Country tale I have read so far
