The Violet Hour

A Lowcountry Tale

By: Victoria Benton Frank

Narrated by: Mia Hutchinson-Shaw, Stephanie Einstein, Janet Metzger, Megan Tusing

A heartwarming and empowering novel about thriving after tragedy, from the author of the “enchanting, hilarious, and insightful” (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times author) My Magnolia Summer.

Violet Adams is the perfect, youngest child in a family of loud, passionate women on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina. As the sweet, traditional one, she’s always been the steady hand in her family but after a sudden breakup and subsequent tragedy, she doesn’t know who she is anymore.

Aly Knox, Violet’s best friend, is a young influencer still struggling with the loss of her mother and adjusting to joining Violet in Southern living. With her best friend’s help, Violet is determined to break out of her shell—and who she thought she was—no matter what. And what better place to look for success, meaning, and possibly love than the Lowcountry of South Carolina?

The story

Beautifully written. Reminded me of her mother but with her own style and spin on the story. Can’t wait of her next book!

Love the Low Country

This was a good book. Interesting and moving. I had to really focus on which character was talking and who they were. I think VBF has grown so much since her last book and look forward to her future books. She is her mother’s daughter!

Great story, but horrible narrator.

The narrator's voice sounded intoxicated or something. I've listened to all of DBF and VBF and always wonderful, but this one got on my last nerve.

Great listen

Sit back and enjoy a great book. Excellent narration. I hope there are more to come!

Her Mother's Daughter

This book was a good story. Not quite the character development and affection that VBF had in her first book, but it was a good read. I look forward to the next book. Please, however, get narrators that match the story. The main narrator almost ruined the story by not being able to express the feelings or the Southern charm of the characters.
