<strong>Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of <em>The Beach House</em>! The most fulfilling journey is one that leads back home...</strong><br /><br />"Mary Alice Monroe is helping to redefine the beauty and magic of the Carolina Lowcountry. Every book she has written has felt like a homecoming to me."<br /><em>--</em>Pat Conroy<br /><br />Twenty years ago, Caretta Rutledge left her Southern roots far behind for a successful career as a businesswoman in Chicago. 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.<br /><br />Before long, the rhythms of the island open her heart 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.<br /><br />Known for her moving characters and emotional honesty, Mary Alice Monroe brings readers a beautifully rendered story that explores the fragile yet enduring bond between mothers and daughters.<br /><br><br><b>Author:</b> Mary Alice Monroe<br><b>Publisher:</b> Mira Books<br><b>Published:</b> 06/29/2021<br><b>Pages:</b> 480<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.75lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780778311423
