This was a really good book for me, Lots of Lowcountry history. charleston, Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet, and myrtle beach .
Mainly this was a book about a 73 year old woman with a 40 year old Cherokee Indian companion that take a secret trip to Myrtle beach to stay at a hotel she stayed at all her life. She sneaks away from her kids whom want her to go to the doctor to get an exam because of her old age. So she stays at this hotel that doesn't change over the years called the Priscilla.
She invites her son tyler to be with her because she has some news to tell him about his life. In the meantime she meets an elderly gentlemen that she takes an interest in and ends up confiding in. It ends up that the son, in a relationship with a man, living in new york, and a famous book writer tells her he has colon cancer. after that she decides to not let her past rule her and not to tell her son what she was going to tell him. and concentrate on just taking care of him. She does want to continue seeing this man, that lives in New Jersey with his family, and they decide to keep in touch. And that was the end of the story.
It really made you want to find out more at the end of the book. Did her companion find love again? did she and her male companion fall in love?did her son live through his colon cancer.? So it did leave you wondering at the end.
I give this book a 5
