About this ebook
I am not a writer but I am a story teller with a tale to
tell. This novel is based, to some extent, on things that
happened during my years on and around Sullivan’s Island,
South Carolina. This story is about a mother, her husband
and three children who lived on Sullivan’s island near Fort
Moultrie during World War II and several decades after the
war. It includes living through hurricanes, eating what the
ocean had to offer, enjoying the beach and the friends and
relatives who affected their lives. In the middle of all this
is another story.....a love story between the mother and
a soldier, whom she introduces to her family, even to her
husband as a friend. The surprise ending brings to the reader
an interesting conclusion.
Remember this is not a true story but one that could
have happened.
I was born on Sullivan’s Island over 80 years ago. I
grew up there and lived through most of the events
from which my imagination took over and built this story.
Since being married almost 60 years to my husband Bill,
the love of my life, we have traveled to all fi fty states,
parts of Europe, South America, Canada and cruised
all over the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. In
addition to our traveling we enjoy duplicate bridge,
reading, senior activities at our church and writing.
Writing has always been my passion but this is my
fi rst attempt at writing a novel. I just love what I’ve
done and have another in the back of my mind. We
have three daughters and seven grandchildren and
currently live in the clay hills of Chapin, South Carolina
but I just cannot get the beach sand from between
my toes.
