The Beach House
Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of The Beach House! The most fulfilling journey is one that leads back home…
"Mary Alice Monroe is helping to redefine the beauty and magic of the Carolina Lowcountry. Every book she has written has felt like a homecoming to me."
—Pat Conroy
Twenty years ago, Caretta Rutledge left her Southern roots far behind for a successful career as a businesswoman in Chicago. But an unusual request from her mother—coming just as her own life is spinning out of control—has Cara heading back to the scenic Lowcountry of her childhood summers.
Before long, the rhythms of the island open her heart as she repairs the family beach house, becomes a bona fide “turtle lady” and renews old acquaintances long thought lost. But it is in reconnecting with her mother that she will learn life’s most precious lessons—true love involves sacrifice, family is forever and the mistakes of the past can be forgiven.
Known for her moving characters and emotional honesty, Mary Alice Monroe brings readers a beautifully rendered story that explores the fragile yet enduring bond between mothers and daughters.

Reviews
What a wonderful book - great characters, location and frank and moving storylines. Loved the emphasis, encouraging people to be their true selves. - and relationships among men/women, parents/offspring and friends. I especially enjoyed the care given to nesting loggerhead turtles. I can't wait to read another book by Monroe, who is one of our most gifted modern writers. Her best-seller status is well-deserved. Monroe's works will be classics.

I seldom write reviews. This book touched my heart and renewed my soul. The prose is beautifully written taking the reader to the landscape. The life lessons are reminders that nature and love can weave a healing bond.
