"Having lived in SC for 14 years I was reminded of many aspects of the Low Country life. I'm not sure why but it reminded of the Newbery winner Across Five Aprils which I liked.Maybe it was the coming of age type story. Beth Webb Hart addresses issues of faith in a non preachy, down to earth manner."

" This book was ok, but not quite as engrossing as Webb Hart's "Adelaide Piper". "
— Sarah, 4/29/2013" Interesting characters, a unique setting. It was good to read about Christians who struggle with real life situations and rely on their faith. The writing was a little uneven at times, but all in all a good read. "
— Nicole, 1/23/2013" Easy fun read.... "
— Carolin, 1/11/2013" This is an evangelical book, which isn't to my taste to begin with. However, all the religion aside, I found the plot completely unremarkable and totally predictible. "
— Margaret, 10/31/2012" This is a good book - Christian fiction with complex characters and a realistic storyline. I especially liked the author's depiction of the protagonist's faith, and her choice to remain faithful, despite a family crisis that changed her world. "
— Lisa, 8/10/2012" Very good. I really enjoy Beth Web Har's books. Although you coul tell this wasa first book. "
— Samantha, 5/29/2012" Interesting book with strong Christian undertones. I thought the characters were very well written and while the message was good, I kept finding myself wishing it would work out differently. "
— Karin, 12/30/2011" Good allusions to Charleston, SC area as told by teen-ager in dysfunctional family. True to the source. "
— Martha, 6/13/2011" Never finished it, couldn't get into it. "
— Melissa, 4/19/2011" This is my second Beth Webb Hart book, and, likely, my last. Just as she captures the reader with an appropriate Southern nuance, she loses credibility by injecting a poorly integrated religious message. "
— Keightley8, 3/7/2011" Nice fiction Christian read. "
— Peggy, 12/24/2010" Interesting characters, a unique setting. It was good to read about Christians who struggle with real life situations and rely on their faith. The writing was a little uneven at times, but all in all a good read. "
— Nicole, 10/8/2010" This is my second Beth Webb Hart book, and, likely, my last. Just as she captures the reader with an appropriate Southern nuance, she loses credibility by injecting a poorly integrated religious message. "
— Keightley8, 6/21/2010" 15 year old DeVaux and her once prominent Charleston family now live in caretaker’s cottage on their former family plantation. Tells of her family’s transformation and how God cares for us all. "
— Kitty, 5/31/2010" This is an evangelical book, which isn't to my taste to begin with. However, all the religion aside, I found the plot completely unremarkable and totally predictible. "
