Resumen del Editor

The Summer Wind is the second book in Monroe's Lowcountry Summer trilogy, following the New York Times best seller The Summer Girls. This series is the poignant and heartwarming story of three half-sisters and their grandmother, who is determined to help them rediscover their Southern roots and family bonds.

It's midsummer, and Eudora, nicknamed Dora, is staying at Sea Breeze, the family's ancestral home on Sullivan's Island. For years, Dora has played the role of the perfect wife and mother in a loveless marriage. Now her husband has filed for divorce, her child is diagnosed with autism, and her house is on the market. Dora's façade collapses under the weight of her grief, and she suffers "broken heart syndrome." Mamaw and the girls rally around Dora - but it's up to Dora to heal herself as she spends the summer prowling the beach, discovering the secrets of the island and her heart. This is a summer of discovery for all the women of Sea Breeze. Carson returns from Florida to face life-changing decisions, Lucille confronts a health scare, and an unexpected visitor has Harper reconsidering her life's direction.

When tropical storm winds batter the island, the women must band together and weather the tempest - both the one outside their windows and the raging sea of emotions within each of them. They must learn again what it means to be a sister. It is up to Mamaw to keep the light burning at Sea Breeze to guide the girls through the lies, the threats, and the rocky waters of indecision to home.

The Summer Wind

I am so glad I found this series, loved the first book, but this second one was even more special in that you already knew the characters. such a beautiful heart rending series, so looking forward to the next one.
The narration is excellent.

A wonderful story continuing the trilogy.

I could hardly put it down; it picks up right where the first book of the series leaves off.

Love the Story’s

I am listening in order. Love this family. Love this author and narrator! She really puts so much to learn about in her stories in a very natural way!

Summer wind

Just like book 2, a very heart warming story. Can’t wait to listen to book 3.

Nice finish

I felt like this story could have been condensed better into the first book - this one felt like it dragged on forever, and yet it still didn’t get completely told. It’s a great example of how to stretch one longer but very solid, plot-heavy book into at least three “full fat” books. Not a favorite but still okay.

Very entertaining

This was a great continuation of the first book. I enjoyed getting into the other characters and look forward to the next book!
