About the Book


Lilly Parmenter lives with her father and two brothers on their faded plantation in the South Carolina low country where they breed the famed Boykin hunting dogs for Charleston’s elite class. Into Lilly’s overwhelmingly masculine universe arrives Lulu Wentworth, the privileged daughter of one of Charleston’s ruling class. For Lulu, it’s love at first sight: the only thing she now wants is to live on the dog farm and help in the kennels. But Lilly doesn’t need another female around, and she certainly doesn’t want one around who loves the dogs as much as she does. The two reach an uneasy truce that soon turns to true friendship as they learn each others secrets and share the secrets of the low country.

Review :
"This story, with its haunting, lyrical prose and complex characters...will captivate any reader." -- Booklist "A page-turner. The setting and the isolated life will remind readers of Sue Monk Kidd's THE MERMAID CHAIR." -- USA Today "Themes of love and loss are intertwined throughout, as the reader rides on a tide of Siddons' lush, lyrical prose." -- Charlotte News & Observer "Rises above...by the sheer beauty and power of its prose. A story that refuses to be put down." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Richly atmospheric...touching, dramatic... one of Siddons' most impressive novels." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution "A fully alive world of many dimensions." -- Tallahassee Democrat "Few writers are better than Siddons at evoking the sweet gentility of Southern climes." -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Lush, lyrical prose and loving detail." -- Bangor Daily News "This is Siddons' best work." -- Chicago Tribune "A powerful narrative that should satiate Siddons' many fans and captivate new ones." -- St. Petersburg Times "Fans of Southern novels in the vein of FRIED GREEN TOMATOES will relish this one's rich atmosphere." -- Washington Post
