Folly Beach

A Lowcountry Tale

De: Dorothea Benton Frank

Narrado por: Robin Miles

Experience the wild beauty and sultry magic of New York Times best-selling author Dorothea Benton Frank's Carolina Lowcountry - where the pull of family is as powerful as the ocean tides and love can strike faster than lightening in summer....

Folly Beach is the land of Cate Cooper's childhood, the place where all the ghosts of her past roam freely. Cate never thought she'd wind up in a tiny cottage on this breathtakingly lovely strip of coast. But circumstances have changed, leaving Cate homeless, broke, and unmoored.

Yet Folly Beach holds more than just memories. Once upon a time another woman found unexpected bliss and comfort within its welcoming arms. An artist, writer, and colleague of the revered George Gershwin, Dorothy Heyward enjoyed the greatest moments of her life at Folly with her beloved husband, DuBose. And though the Heywards are long gone, their passion and spirit lingers in every mango sunset and gentle ocean breeze.

And for Cate, Folly, too, holds the promise of unexpected fulfillment. Folly Beach doesn't just hold the girl she once was... it also holds the promise of the woman she's always wanted - and is finally ready - to become. Filled with irresistible charm, saucy wit, and lush atmosphere, Folly Beach is vintage Dorothea Benton Frank.

Wonderful story and fabulous narrator

Love Robin Miles. She makes this story glow right into your soul. The history of one of my favorite musicals and the people who created it was enchanting. I want to visit the Low Country soon!

Loved the setting of Folly Beach

Not one of my favorites but worth listening. I did not like the protagonist. She is annoying in many ways.

Great Summer Read!

I truly enjoyed listening to this book. I downloaded prior to going to Folly Beach and enjoyed it while there. Her descriptions of the area were spot on and I enjoyed visiting several of the places she referenced in her book during my trip (Taco Boy, the Charleston Musuem, the lighthouse, the Porgy House)! The story held my attention and I felt the characters were family by the time the book was finished. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the beautiful descriptions of the low country and who enjoys a beautiful generational story. At times, I wanted to cry and 10 minutes later I would laugh outloud. Enjoy!

A good summer read!

This was a fast & enjoyable read. Gave a good feeling for the lowcountry and of its people. Would highly recommend it!

Worthwhile

Funny, exciting, sad and fulfilling. Well read. Couldn't stop listening.
Recommend for weekend vacation getaway or retreat. I loved it.

Spectacular!

Loved Everything About This Book. Captivating Storyline. Narrator Was EXCELLENT! Characters Were Brought To Life.

Great Story!

It was tough to get into at first, but I'm so very glad I didn't give up. It was a uniquely great way to lay out a story.

The diversity of characters.

Would love more books by Dorothea Benton Frank with Robin acting. ❤️ I couldn't stop listening.
