I'm thrilled to announce that Dorothea Benton Frank will join Book Club Girl on Wednesday, May 4th to discuss her New York Times bestseller, now in paperback, Lowcountry Summer!
On the occasion of her 46th birthday, Caroline Wimbley Levine is concerned about filling the large shoes of her late, force-of-nature mother, Miss Lavinia, the former Queen of Tall Pines Plantation. Still, Caroline loves a challenge—and she simply will not be fazed by the myriad family catastrophes surrounding her. She'll deal with brother Trip's tricky romantic entanglements, son Eric and his mysterious girlfriend, and go toe-to-toe with alcoholic Frances Mae and her four hellcats without batting an eye, becoming more like Miss Lavinia every day . . . which is not an entirely good thing.
Return with New York Times bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank to the South Carolina Lowcountry—as a new generation stumbles, survives, and reveals their secrets by the banks of the mighty Edisto River.
I have 10 copies of Lowcountry Summer to give away to the first 10 people who comment that they can participate in the show on May 4th. Browse inside Lowcountry Summer, check out the reading group guide and set your reminder for the show.





















































































































I usually love the books you pick so I'd love to participate.
