A wonderful way to spend a couple of wintry days... My sister Bev, suggested healing would go faster, if I listened for the sounds of the ocean and hear this in my mind. In order to get in that frame of mind, I decided to read this on my ereader, ipad. Brenda B. from the OMBC had introduce me to this author before and I liked her, so it was an easy choice. This author loves to write about beaches and the warm South.
This picture from the Folly Beach website in South Carolina. The book talks about the sea grass and warm beaches and sea turtles and ocean waves. Folly Beach is consider the last barrier island before the Atlantic. Where the people consider they are natives if they dress like a tourist and always wear flip flops. Sounds great! The author did a wonderful job of bringing World War 2 history of this area and tied in with the present of lost books with hidden messages hid in these books. Kept me reading quickly. I also learned a bit about bottle trees, which one of the characters of the book, Lulu created. Below is a pic, I found on the intranet from voodoo mama. Bottle trees have quite the legend and lore. The author weaves the bottle trees throughout the story.
I did finish this book yesterday and as you see it lead me to research some pictures and history. Just wanted to share and if sounds interesting ... read Folly's Beach by Karen White.Beverly and Brenda B. I know you will enjoy this book also.
Thoughts of blowing sea grasses and sounds of the sea to you this wintry day...

I came very close to chosing Folly Beach for our book club.
I'm glad that you are feeling well enough to read. Healing is slow but sure; you'll be better than ever when this is all over!
