Sweetgrass

De: Mary Alice Monroe

Narrado por: Sandra Burr

Sweetgrass is a historic tract of land in South Carolina that has been home to the Blakely family for eight generations. But Sweetgrass — named for the indigenous grass that grows in the area — is in trouble. Taxes are skyrocketing. Bulldozers are leveling the surrounding properties. And the Blakelys could be forced to sell the one thing that continues to hold their disintegrating family together.

In this poignant novel of hope, acceptance and the powerful gift of forgiveness, Mary Alice Monroe paints an intimate portrait of a family that must learn to unravel old patterns and weave together a new future.

A family saga of the Carolina low country

A long way from Prince of Tides but the echoes are there. There is drowning in this story but redemption as well. A few questions left unanswered or answered indirectly. In the end a feel good story.

Easy read but enough twists & turns to keep it interesting. Pleasant, generational, family story. The narration was excellent.

Difficulties often do lead to growth, grieving, & reconciliation as happens in this beautiful story for those willing to open their minds & their hearts.

All About Family

Sweet grass is a warm and captivating story filled with the highs and lows of family. I enjoyed the events and situations that led each family member to put family and traditions first. It also illustrated the pit fall of bitterness and selfish desires.
