In 1974, America is changing, but Charleston remains eternally the same. When Lovie married aristocratic businessman Stratton Rutledge, she turned over her fortune and fate to his control. But she refused to relinquish one thing: her family's old seaside cottage. Precious summers with her children are Lovie's refuge from social expectations and her husband's philandering. Here, she is the "Turtle Lady," tending the loggerhead turtles that lay eggs in the warm night sand and then slip back into the sea.

Stratton's influence is far-reaching, and if she dares to dream beyond a summer affair, she risks losing her reputation, her wealth, even her children.

This emotional tale of a strong woman torn between duty and desire, between tradition and change, is an empowering journey through the seasons of self-discovery. Until this autumn, this time of winds and tides, of holding on and letting go...

Winner!

Loved this book. I had read the first book in this series, The Beach House, and liked it. Rarely do I find the sequel better than the first, but this is an exception. I am visiting the Isle of Palms and Charleston area in a few days and wanted to read another book with this setting. Couldn’t put this one down. She’s written another book to complete the series and I can’t wait to read it.
