Description:
Cultures clash when sassy Larissa Harold blows into the lives of a Southern widower and his grandson. This fast fun read revs up the engines of two sheltered male Charlestonians who never saw the antics of a gen-u-ine project princess coming.
Brief description: Terry Ward Tucker lives in Charleston, South Carolina and writes novels, screenplays, and teleplays about the South, the only landscape of heart she knows. Her latest project, Carolina Collection, includes five novels set in South Carolina-four in Charleston and one in Lancaster. The four Charleston books are MOONBOW OVER CHARLESTON, CHARLESTON'S ELEGANT SINNERS, MURDERESS OF SULLIVAN'S ISLAND, AND CHARLESTON KISSES. The Lancaster novel is MOONLIGHT AND MILL WHISTLES, winner of FOREWORD MAGAZINE's Silver Book of the Year Award . Although Tucker holds a PhD in reading education with a cognate in English from the University of South Carolina, she describes herself as "a recovering academic now paddling around in the sweet waters of literary and film art." Her undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is in music with piano and choral emphases, underscoring the fact that fine arts have intermingled in Terry's life since she wrote her first poem at age eight, and played her first Bach Invention on piano at age eleven. Terry's style of writing reflects her interest in film. Look for short chapters, vivid scenes, fast pace, surprising action, quirky characters, and humor on the run, yet always addressing serious topics.
