About this ebook
A sweeping women’s fiction novel about Southern family set on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina: in the powerful and heartwarming conclusion to her bestselling Lowcountry Summer trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe returns to Sea Breeze to show how the pull of family bonds, true love, and the tides of change run just as deep.
It’s the end of summer and the beloved seaside estate of Sea Breeze on picturesque Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, must be sold. It is an emotional and poignant turning point for one Southern family as Mamaw and the three sisters each must face loss and find a new place in the world.
Harper, the youngest sister, arrived at Sea Breeze intending to stay only a weekend, but a rift with her wealthy, influential mother left her without direction or a home. During this remarkable summer, free from her mother’s tyranny and with the help of her half-sisters, Harper discovered her talents and independent spirit.
But summer is ending, and the fate of Sea Breeze hinges on Harper’s courage to decide the course of her own life. To do so she must release her insecurities and recognize her newfound strengths. She must accept love fully into her life—the love of Mamaw, Carson, and Dora, the love of Sea Breeze and the lowcountry, and most of all, the love of a Wounded Warrior who has claimed her heart.
The third book in Mary Alice Monroe’s acclaimed Lowcountry Summer trilogy that brims with “stories that touch the mind and heart of her readers” (HuffPost), this romantic and emotionally rich Southern fiction seamlessly blends family drama, coastal charm, and heartfelt women’s fiction.

Mamaw has invited the sisters, her granddaughters for the last summer at Sea Breeze; hoping they'll rediscover the sisterly love they felt as children. Ms. Monroe delivers the story with style and compassion. I haven't read the previous two books, and had no problem following this stand alone book - except putting it down! It's well written, the characters draw you in and story captures you interest and heart! Received book free for honest review.

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.
