Rating:  - Dorthea is the best
When it comes to story plot, driving it and funny characters that are believable, loveable, and down to earth, this is the book to buy. I have read all of her books and never once been let down. Shem creek will sit in your heart forever and you will find yourself re-reading it.

That about sums it up. I was sooooo looking forward to this one coming out. The cover is beautiful and beckons with such promise. South Carolina - what could be better? Unfortunately, this was probably one of Dottie's most boring novels.
