Resumen del Editor

This instant New York Times best seller from the author of The Summer Guests is set on the Isle of Palms and offers “magical depictions of the lowcountry and the charms of her characters” (Elin Hilderbrand, number one New York Times best-selling author) in a breathtaking novel that recounts one family’s summer of forging new beginnings against the enduring beauty and resilience of the natural world.

It’s been 16 years since Caretta “Cara” Rutledge has returned home to the beautiful shores of Charleston, South Carolina. Over those years, she has weathered the tides of deaths and births, struggles and joys. And now, as Cara prepares for her second wedding, her life is about to change yet again.

Meanwhile, the rest of the storied Rutledge family is also in flux. Cara’s niece Linnea returns to Sullivan’s Island to begin a new career and an unexpected relationship. Linnea’s parents, having survived bankruptcy, pin their hopes and futures on the construction of a new home on Ocean Boulevard. But as excitement over the house and wedding builds, a devastating illness strikes the family and brings plans to a screeching halt. It is under these trying circumstances that the Rutledge family must come together yet again to discover the enduring strength in love, tradition, and legacy from mother to daughter to granddaughter.

Like the sea turtles that come ashore annually on these windswept islands, three generations of the Rutledge family experience a season of return, rebirth, and growth. “A heartwarming story of lowcountry love, loyalty, and longstanding friendships” (Booklist), On Ocean Boulevard is Mary Alice Monroe at her very best.

While not necessarily a negative, I did miss hearing the author narrate her book. But Cassandra Campbell did a great job!

Excellent

Excellent as always!! You can just imagine yourself in Cara’s mind living her dream!! I just absolutely LOVE Mary Alice Monroe’s writing!

Good story

Although a good story, it was a little slow in the beginning, but interesting enough to keep me listening to it. After a while, I was hooked.

Darci

I love this series. This is my second listen. Even better than the first time. I wish the last book was narrated by the author just to keep the voice consistent.

classic Mary Alice Monroe

i do love the continuing saga, old and new characters and interwoven take. and i love the low country

Another great story

I loved this continuation of the previous book in the series. I have enjoyed the entire series. The only complaint I have is the reader…I did not enjoy her voice or the various impressions.

I've never been a big reader until I found this author. she makes you feel like we are friends and I'm friends with the people in the books
