I am not a writer but I am a story teller with a tale totell. This novel is based, to some extent, on things thathappened during my years on and around Sullivan’s Island,South Carolina. This story is about a mother, her husbandand three children who lived on Sullivan’s island near FortMoultrie during World War II and several decades after thewar. It includes living through hurricanes, eating what theocean had to offer, enjoying the beach and the friends andrelatives who affected their lives. In the middle of all thisis another story.....a love story between the mother anda soldier, whom she introduces to her family, even to herhusband as a friend. The surprise ending brings to the readeran interesting conclusion.Remember this is not a true story but one that couldhave happened.I was born on Sullivan’s Island over 80 years ago. Igrew up there and lived through most of the eventsfrom 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 cruisedall over the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. Inaddition to our traveling we enjoy duplicate bridge,reading, senior activities at our church and writing.Writing has always been my passion but this is myfi rst attempt at writing a novel. I just love what I’vedone and have another in the back of my mind. Wehave three daughters and seven grandchildren andcurrently live in the clay hills of Chapin, South Carolinabut I just cannot get the beach sand from betweenmy toes.
