Waiting on Wednesday

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly meme

 hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine

It's a chance to spotlight books we are eagerly anticipating.

I am impatiently waiting on Dorothea Benton Frank's next novel, Porch Lights.  I love Dorothea's books, and really my only complaint is that she doesn't write faster!  LOL!  I'd love to see more releases from her, but that's ok.  It is usually worth the wait between books! ;)  I think I lived in the South in a past life, as "Southern" books always grab my attention! I love everything about them!

Synopsis (from Amazon): When Jimmy McMullen, a fireman with the NYFD, is killed in the line of duty, his wife, Jackie, and ten-year-old son, Charlie, are devastated. Charlie idolized his dad, and now the outgoing, curious boy has become quiet and reserved. Trusting in the healing power of family, Jackie decides to return to her childhood home on Sullivans Island.

Crossing the bridge from the mainland, Jackie and Charlie enter a world full of wonder and magic—lush green and chocolate grasslands and dazzling red, orange, and magenta evening skies; the heady pungency of Lowcountry Pluff mud and fresh seafood on the grill; bare toes snuggled in warm sand and palmetto fronds swaying in gentle ocean winds.

Awaiting them is Annie Britt, the family matriarch who has kept the porch lights on to welcome them home. Thrilled to have her family back again, Annie promises to make their visit perfect—even though relations between mother and daughter have never been what you'd call smooth. Over the years, Jackie and Annie, like all mothers and daughters, have been known to have frequent and notorious differences of opinion. But her estranged and wise husband, Buster, and her flamboyant and funny best friend Deb are sure to keep Annie in line. She's also got Steven Plofker, the flirtatious and devilishly tasty widowed physician next door, to keep her distracted as well.
