From the New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels comes a story of old wounds and second chances, set in the small South Carolina town of Folly Beach.
Â
To most people, Folly Beach is simply the last barrier island before reaching the great Atlantic. To some, it€s a sanctuary for lost souls...
Â
When Emmy Hamilton€s mother encourages her to buy the local book store, Folly€s Finds, she hopes it will distract her daughter from the loss of her husband. But the seller has one condition that changes everything: Emmy must allow Lulu, the late owner€s difficult elderly sister, to continue selling her bottle trees from its back yard.
Â
For the most part Emmy ignores Lulu as she sifts through the love letters she finds in a box of used books. But the more she discovers about the letters, the more she understands Lulu. As details of a possible murder and a mysterious disappearance during WWII are revealed, the two women discover that circumstances beyond their control have brought them together, here on Folly Beach. And it is here that their war-ravaged hearts can find hope again€¦
