Summary

A New York Times Bestseller Anna Lutz Abbot thinks she has her independence, and her happiness, intact. Nothing is as she thought it was. The more Anna insists that she's in control, the more life shows her she is not. She has to deal with all the truth, not just the comfortable truth, and secrets are just plain dangerous. Set off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina, Isle of Palms takes a hard look at mothers and daughters, extended family, and what friendship means in today's world
