Joe and Abigail Becker, a Jewish couple from Boston, have inherited a house on Sweetgrass Island in South Carolinaâs Lowcountry. Though they feel like fish out of water, the couple is excited to give the South a tryâand maybe even find it a place to finally call home. Their Boston friends are convinced they wonât last the summer. But the South works its magic on the Beckers, holding them fast to misty marsh, farmlands, and grand oaks, the sweet twang of banjos and the blues. Even the locals have put aside their usual mistrust of transplants. Joe is convinced that has more to do with Abigailâs beauty than with his dubious charmsâespecially in the case of Billy Euston. A celebrated pit master and womanizer, Billy is transfixed with Abigail at first sight. And though Joe is used to his lovely wifeâs effect on men, he misjudges their playful flirtationsâa tragic mistake that will tear through the island like a hurricane, leaving the broken and the battered in its wake . . . 541 $d 20230213. 650 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction. 650 $a Jews $z Southern States $v Fiction. 651 $a Southern States $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20230627010549.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F445553A14AF11EE8C76ABEC35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
