It is the land of Cate Cooper's childhood, the place where all the ghosts of her past roam freely. Cate never thought she'd return to the beach house named for this lovely strip of coast. But circumstances have changed, thanks to her newly dead husband, whose financial--and emotional--perfidy has left Cate homeless and broke.</p><p>Yet Folly Beach holds more than just memories. Once upon a time another woman found unexpected comfort within its welcoming arms. An artist, writer, and sometime colleague of the revered George Gershwin, Dorothy Heyward enjoyed the greatest moments of her life at Folly with her beloved husband, DuBose. And though the Heywards are long gone, their passion and spirit linger in every sunset and ocean breeze.</p><p>And for Cate, Folly holds the promise of unexpected fulfillment . . . of the woman she's always wanted--and is finally ready--to become.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Alternating between Cate's personal journey of renewal and flashbacks into the lives of the Heywards, Frank's lush and literary paean to her beloved Lowcountry provides a romantic glimpse into an artistic past.--<em>Booklist</em><br>
