In a few months we’ll publish the much-anticipated Return to Sullivan's Island by the wildly funny, Southern and sassy Dorothea (’Dot’) Benton Frank. Dot’s star shot through the sky with the publication of Sullivan's Island, her debut novel which was set in South Carolina's steamy low country. That book went on to become a New York Times bestseller – with over a million copies in print today. Fans will be thrilled to learn that a sequel is on the horizon. In Return to Sullivan's Island, Dot takes us back to South Carolina and catches up with the wonderful characters she’d brought us to nine years ago – and introduces us to the next generation as well. The book goes on sale June 30, 2009.
Here’s a clip of Dot talking about her hometown library. Enjoy!

I was disappointed with the book. It was a little goofy (all the ghosts in the mirrors & so forth). Didn't really like the main character (Beth) who seemed a little spoiled & self-absorbed. I could have done without all the ageist comments too. Most of the characters seemed pretty one-demensional. Woody was likeable.
