Dialogue and characters could have been developed better. Not a real interesting read, but I did finish it. Predictable, Nice, warm ending! Think about what a porch light means to you, your family. What does it represent?

As with all of Dorothea Benton Frank’s books, if you enjoy comfort food, local South Carolina history, nature, mild antagonism, blossoming romance, wit and southern wisdom, this book is for you. As are all her others. Deserves to be read…

Jackie becomes widow, husband died working with NYFD. She and son Charlie go to visit her mom on island off Carolinas. Narative switches between mother/daughter. Well written, enjoyable, warm fuzzy ending.

An easy read with characters you can like and root for. Good lessons but a very simple book. Something for a lazy afternoon.

Beach read with a happy ending. This is probably one of the better Frank novels--one of these days I have to get to Sullivan's Island.
