Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A New York Times Bestselling Author -- Set in the tumultuous South during the 1970s, this is the story of Olivia "Lovie" Rutledge, the mother from The Beach House. As Lovie sits on the porch of her charming house and looks out over the ocean, the old woman reflects on the difficult choices she made many years earlier -- during the summer that changed her life. Beautifully wrought and rich with keen insight, this is an unforgettable tale of marriage, resilience, and one woman's private strength.
"Olivia "Lovie" Rutledge lives in her beloved Primrose Cottage on Isle of Palms with her daughter Cara. Lovie remembers many summers, but especially 1974. Lovie had always done what was expected -- marrying Stratton Rutledge and turning over her fortune and fate to his control. But she refuses to relinquish her family's seaside cottage where she indulges her vocation as a "Turtle Lady", tending the loggerhead sea turtles. This summer, however, is different. Visiting biologist Russell Bennett arrives on the island to research loggerheads. What begins as a shared passion for turtles changes to a love far more passionate and profound than Lovie has ever known" -- Cover verso.
