Lowcountry Lost

By: T. I. Lowe

Narrated by: Zura Johnson

Avalee Elvis prides herself with being able to fix just about anything … except her past. Unable to put the puzzle of her life together, she pours heart and soul into making neglected places whole again. As the owner of Lowcountry Lost, Avalee spends her days in hot-pink Carhartt overalls and a tool belt reclaiming Lowcountry properties. Making them beautiful again releases the deep sigh that soothes the hurt she holds.

Avalee’s latest project takes her to tiny Somewhere, South Carolina, a long-abandoned town. She ignores its ghostly folklore but can’t miss the shock of hearing the familiar Irish brogue that materializes on the job site—the voice of the man she never wanted to see again.

Rowan Murray is a structural engineer hired by investors to oversee the redevelopment of the quaint downtown Avalee is bringing back to life. Once upon a time, he was also the man who knew Avalee better than anyone else—or so he thought. Six years ago, neither of them was prepared for the tragedy they would face together or what would happen in its wake. But as they work together to complete the rehabbing of Somewhere, their broken pieces and the pain that nearly consumed them begin to lose its grip, and both begin to wonder if it’s not too late for a restoration of their own.

From the author of the breakout Southern fiction bestseller Under the Magnolias comes a story of loss and abandonment, forgiveness, and the beauty of undying love.

Critic reviews

"An impeccably researched, emotionally compelling new novel."—Marybeth Mayhew Whalen, author of Every Moment Since, on Lowcountry Lost

Enjoyed the relationships

I didn’t care for the narrator. Her voices all sounded so similar to each other.

Great story!

I loved the characters! The story was intriguing and quite beautiful. I enjoyed it all!

Almost A 5⭐️

Narrator was good, except the parts of exceptional humour were either written to be almost missed but thoroughly enjoyed when you caught them, or the narrator didn’t make it pop. However she was quite good. What’s holding me back from 5 ⭐️? Not sure exactly. The story kept me very interested all the way through- but there was really no build up or climax of the story. I think that’s what it was. It just slowly built up from sadness to happiness. Which was fine. I just can only label the book as very good instead of excellent, since no part just held me totally gripped. I would read a book by this author again, more likely if it was free🙃

Loved it

Held my interest from the beginning paragraph. Compelling storyline, pulling at the heartstrings. Reader was excellent.

Ruins

The cadence of this angst-filled story lulled me, lured me in and didn’t let go. This story broke me.

Awful

The story begins as a woman on a mission but ends as something else. Not worth the time or the credit.
