porch lights by Dorthea Benton Frank

I love books that take place in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Jackie ends up going back home with her son for the summer after losing her husband in a tragic accident.  She goes back to her momma and spends the summer trying to find herself and what she wants.  Her son Charlie grows into himself on the shore and loves his freedom.  Her mother Annie thrives in their company .  A wonderful story about love, loss and family
