The past has come knocking on Julia’s door. Can she summon the courage to answer betrayal with love? Once, they were the happiest family under the sun, crabbing and fishing and painting on beautiful Edisto Island in South Carolina’s lowcountry. Then everything went wrong, and twenty years later the Bennett family is still in pieces. Mary Ellen still struggles to understand why her picture-perfect marriage came apart. Daughter Meg keeps a death grip on her own family, controlling her relationships at a distance. And Julia thought she left it all behind. Julia’s best friend, Marney, broke up her parents’ marriage years ago. Now Marney shows up at her Manhattan apartment, asking the impossible—come home to Edisto Island to care for the half-sisters and half-brother she has never known. Marney, recently widowed, has lung cancer. There’s no other family to care for the children while she’s in the hospital following surgery. Julia loathes Marney. But if she doesn’t step in, her own mother—who has never gotten over the divorce—will be called upon to take care of the children. So Julia heads to South Carolina to keep the peace. Julia grudgingly agrees to stay a week caring for her three young half-siblings. But there’s something about Edisto that changes one, and she begins to reconnect with the place and the people that she's been running from her whole adult life. Can Julia and her fractured family somehow manage to come together again under that low-hanging Edisto moon?

This title from Charles Spencer recounts the history of Edisto Island from the Civil War to present day. The Civil War hit Edisto Island hard. Between the mandated evacuation, Union occupation and the eventual emancipation of the slaves, the cotton plantation economy that had sustained the island fell to ruin. But this phoenix was to rise from the ashes of war to become one of the premier destinations for fun and sun on the South Carolina coast. Charles Spencer, in his second volume of Edisto history, recounts the events of the Civil War, the struggles of Reconstruction, the effects of the new freedman class and the island's rebirth as a favorite vacation spot and modern community in the twentieth century. Each chapter offers an enjoyable excursion into the past and a detailed look at the remarkable history of Edisto.
Nell S. Graydon’s first book, Tales of Edisto, was first published in 1955—14 years after the author’s love affair with her second home at Edisto Island began. Her daughter Virginia recalled that a stay there always included daily trips to the post office, especially during the war years when sharing news was of utmost importance. It was there that the summer colony met and mingled with the natives, and it was in the mundane setting of the post office that the tales of Edisto first reached Nell Graydon’s ears. She wrote many years later: ‘The stories are not new they have been told many times. The tales fascinated me, and I often wondered why someone had not compiled them in book form....’ The historical context of Tales of Edisto includes elements of glamour that will appeal to almost any reader; certainly the 19th century sea island cotton plantations with their ‘elegant homes, avenues of magnolias, orange blossoms, beautiful women, and gentleman planters with their mint juleps’ were the stuff of which romance is made. Beautifully illustrated throughout by engineer-photographer Carl Julien of Greenwood, South Carolina.
Benjamin Bodicott is a gentleman. A man with brilliant blue eyes, flowing hair and a manner of speaking far superior to his peers, Benjamin is as near a Rhett Butler as Edisto Island, South Carolina has ever seen. Whaley, a twenty-two-year-old island native, never thought that she would fall for an aristocrat. But when Benjamin Bodicott steps into her life, everything changes. Whaley, who had been funnelling her passion into music, suddenly finds her attention drawn toward her quickly intensifying romance with Benjamin. Everything is perfect until she receives the devastating phone call that alters her life forever. In a whirlwind sequence of events, Whaleys beloved father is diagnosed with stomach cancer, her prized piano disappears after her fathers death and a secret about Benjamins past emerges, causing her to question everything that she has ever believed. In this tale of romance with a hint of mystery, Nancy Rhyne creates characters as rich in complexity as the beauty of the South Carolina Lowcountry that she masterfully describes. In the sea of turmoil that envelops Whaleys life, she must set aside the world that she knows to determine if love really does conquer all
