Product Description
Set in the steamy, stormy landscape of South Carolina, Sullivan's Island tells the unforgettable story of one woman's courageous journey toward truth.
Born and raised on idyllic Sullivan's Island, Susan Hayes navigated through her turbulent childhood with humor, spunk, and characteristic Southern sass. But years later, she is a conflicted woman with an unfaithful husband, a sometimes resentful teenage daughter, and a heart that aches with painful, poignant memories. And as Susan faces her uncertain future, she realizes that she must go back to her past. To the beachfront house where her sister welcomes her with open arms. To the only place she can truly call home.

 Instantly Hooked! March 1, 2010
Southern Transplant (Charlotte, NC)
To keep it short and sweet- absolutely loved it. The first of Dorothea Benton Frank's books that I have read, but definitely not the last. I just placed an order for "Isle of Palms" and can only hope it's half as good as Sullivan's Island!
Good read ! January 30, 2010
GrammaNature (Georgia, United States)
Set on a barrier island off the coast of South Carolina, clearly the author was drawing on personal experiences with life in this part of the country. I could 'hear' the voices of the gullah women & was reminded of people I know from here. VERY well written story of one woman's life & the history of her family. The last few chapters made me cry. HIGHLY recommended for anyone with their own family traumas, any connection to The Low Country, or anyone who just appreciates a good story. After reading it myself I bought copies for all my sisters & several friends.

Great story-teller! September 18, 2009
Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas)
Sullivan's Island is the perfect setting for a book, especially when it's written by a native who knows how to create the perfect atmosphere and make the reader feel as if he/she were really there. Dorothea Benton Frank also knows how to build characters and her heroine, Susan, comes alive as a feisty, if somewhat conflicted person who is trying to put her life back together after her husband leaves her for another woman. Susan's family takes center stage, and her sister Maggie is especially supportive as Susan seeks a new direction for her life. The chapters alternate between the present and Susan's growing-up years in a family full of dysfunctional and self-centered adults who never truly nurture their children. Fortunately their housekeeper, Livvie, fills the gap as she tends to Susan and her 5 siblings. This is a wonderful book and one which encourages me to read more of Dorothea Benton Frank's novels.
Sullivan's Island: A very sweet story of the South September 8, 2009
Mermaid (The Atlantic Ocean)
Being that I've lived in Charleston, SC for a number of years I thought I'd give Sullivan's Island by Dorothea Benton Frank a try and I'm so glad I did. I usually go for faster-paced novels such as thrillers and murder mysteries, but I found myself staying up late just to keep reading Sullivan's Island. Sullivan's Island tells the tale of a 40-something woman who was born and raised on Sullivan's Island (an island just north of Charleston) and the story runs parallel to her childhood of when she was a young teenager.
I'm afraid that readers unfamiliar with the area may get a little annoyed with the frequent references to various streets and places that most likely are not familiar enough to the casual reader. As a local I quite enjoyed the references to places I've been and have inspired me to go find the places I'd never heard of.
The story had a little bit of mystery (what or who actually did kill her father?) and a touch of the supernatural (ghosts in mirrors?) along with self-discovery. I highly recommend Sullivan's Island and I look forward to reading more books by Frank.
