Reunion Beach: Stories Inspired by Dorothea Benton Frank by Elin Hilderbrand
5.0
If you are a fan of Dorothea Benton Frank, REUNION BEACH a must-listen/read! Also, Susan Bennett is award-winning! I adore her and one of my favorite narrators.
I miss DOT so much, her books, humor, entertainment, sass, and tales of the Lowcountry. She was bigger than life. I always looked forward to her fab beach reads. You can imagine her smiling at this book and laughing out loud.
I also ordered the hardcover. A perfect gift for Mother's day and book clubs. The stories are nostalgic, funny, and sassy like the author and the food and wine will make your mouth water. I could actually listen to Patti Callahan and Mary Alice Monroe's stories for an entire book. The "Postcards from Heaven" was a nice touch and laugh out loud hilarious.
This collection is a treasured gift and grateful to all the authors for this beautiful tribute to this beloved author. Highly recommend!
My favorite stories:
"The Bridesmaids" by Patti Callahan
"Postcards from Heaven" by Adriana Trigiani
"Mother and Child Reunion by Mary Alice Monroe
Introduction by Victoria Benton Frank (her daughter)
Peter's Speech at the Celebration of LIfe for Dottie (husband)
Afterword by William Frank (son)
"Essays by Dorothea Benton Frank"
Included with the audiobook, you get a PDF (download) with all the delicious recipes mentioned and other enhancements! Well done. A classic. Highly recommend!
