Caretta Rutledge thought she’d left her Southern roots and troubled family far behind. But an unusual request from her mother – coming just as her own life is spinning out of control – has Cara heading back to the scenic Lowcountry of her childhood summers.

Before long, the rhythms of the island open her heart in wonderful ways as she repairs the family beach house, becomes a bona fide “turtle lady” and renews old acquaintances long thought lost. But it is in reconnecting with her mother that she will learn life’s most precious lessons – true love involves sacrifice, family is forever and the mistakes of the past can be forgiven.

Having the author narrate this book seemed to give more meaning to the story. I learned a lot about the Loggerhead turtles which helped me understand how important it is to care and protect their nests. Very interesting story which hit home since my mother died in a similar way.

Totally enjoyed this beachy book.

Here is a very entertaining book about the beautiful low country natural wonders, intertwining a educational story regarding loggerhead turtles. The narration was very pleasing, keeping your interest involved, bringing laughter and tears at times. The southern values of people in the south are expressed and involves many heartfelt emotional discoveries. A great book to share.D.H. 3/12/19

The beginning was wonderful. The end was melodramatic and silly. It turned into a Hallmark movie sappy and unbelievable. I was hoping for more.

I loved the beginning
