Somehow everything turns out perfectly. Liked how the lawyer, Abigail, considered all the possibilities and that all were needed. Thought that Rebecca would have done something a little bit more dramatic than what came out in court but liked the "inner makeup" idea. Nat's girlfriend and the doctor friend were a hoot. Loved how all the people on the island were such generous, wealthy nice people. (

Here is a book that I was not sure about before I started reading it but I became totally immersed in it before it was through and wanted it to continue. Different people, well sketched out even to their flaws, make up this book. Naturally they live and work around Pawleys Island. The plot is interesting and it captivates you as you go through. Well done Dorthea.

Pawleys Island, on the most basic level, is a feel good story about how relationships shape our lives. Rebecca is an aspiring artist adrift after an abusive husband turns her children against her and sends her packing. She comes to Pawleys Island to regroup. Once there she meets 3 people who will help change her life and give her the courage to fight for her children. (

TANGLED

We return to hear the waves
rolling onto the beach
one after the other
connecting us like blood.

We were listening long
before we came here,
remembering wind
spinning salt
through interrupted sunlight.

This is a place
where dreams return
as fish bones
tangled in seaweed.

Whatever sorrows come
are folded into the sea,
rinsed clean and kept--
unbearable secrets.

--Marjory Heath Wentworth
South Carolina Poet Laureate
