In this evocative story by New York Times best-selling author Dorothea Benton Frank, 23-year-old Beth Hayes returns to her family's ancestral home on South Carolina's Sullivans Island. It seems like only yesterday that she and her flock of cousins were chasing fireflies in the glowing dusk and flying kites on the beach- under her late father's watchful eye. But after the family gathers, her mother and aunt will vacation abroad, leaving Beth behind with the house and all its memories.
