Sweetgrass by Mary Alice Monroe

As I read this I had a nagging feeling that I had read it before.  I am still not sure, but it was a very enjoyable book.  It takes place in South Carolina on the coast.  It is dealing with an old plantation trying to deal with the current times.  It also deals with the family that has been there for generations and how they have changed and have not always seen things the way they really are.  Watching the characters grow and come to a place of recognition within themselves was done beautifully by Monroe.  She gave you just enough to keep reading and made it worth your while.  It was a very touching story that I think many can relate to, especially when it comes to communication and the love of the land.  I was left wanting more and at the same time satisfied with what I got.
