New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroes Southern-set classic Beach House Memories, the sequel to The Beach House, now a Hallmark Channel movie starring Andie MacDowell!

Autumn brings haunting beauty to the sun-soaked dunes on Isle of Palms, where Lovie Rutledge lives in her beloved Primrose Cottage. As seasons change, Lovie remembers one special summer

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 familys old seaside cottage. Precious summers with her children are Lovies refuge from social expectations and her husbands 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.

In the summer of 74, biologist Russell Bennett visits to research the loggerheads. Their shared interest soon blooms into a passionate, profound love-forcing Lovie to face an agonizing decision. Strattons 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.This is a Pre-Owned book. All our books are in Good or better condition.
