About the book
Being compared to Anne Rivers Siddons and Pat Conroy, Patti Callahan Henry has skillfully incorporated her poetic Southern style into the beautiful Lowcountry setting. When two women, each from different backgrounds, come together, a captivating story unfolds that will immerse readers in memories of the heart and the sweet emotions of first love.
Amidst the overwhelming pressure of organizing her extravagant wedding to a professional golfer, twenty-seven-year-old Kara Larson still finds moments to visit Maeve Mahoney, a ninety-six-year-old resident at the nursing home. As Maeve shares the tale of her first love in Ireland, Kara is reminded of her own childhood sweetheart, Jack Sullivan.
