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.

“The lush details in this prodigal-son tale bring the low-country setting to life.… Readers who enjoy such fine Southern voices as Pat Conroy will add the talented Monroe to their list of favorites.” ( Booklist)

Sweetgrass Review

Sweetgrass captivated me with the warm and wise story that touches on the meaning of life with a heartfelt feeling that made me wish it would not end. Fantastic atmosphere and prompts to re-discover the beauty in my own life.

Sweet Grass

Loved this book, its ability to keep you wrapped up in it and to be able to relate to a character’s life is very admirable & addictive. I loved how families for generations kept the place and the history of it almost unscathed. Preston and momma June remind me of my husband and I ( through sickness and health). I feel a refreshing of my heart and attitude while imagining how history does repeat itself and that the world will be able to mend and with it families will love and depend on each other again. Thank you for sharing this awesome book , I’m so grateful I picked it up for my library.
