Caretta Rutledge believed she had moved behind her turbulent family and her Southern upbringing. However, just as Cara's life is spiraling out of control, her mother makes an odd request that sends her back to the picturesque Lowcountry of her early summers. Before long, as she fixes the family beach home, transforms into a true "turtle lady," and reconnects with long-lost friends, the rhythms of the island begin to open her heart in amazing ways. Reestablishing contact with her mother will teach her some of the most valuable things in life, including the fact that forgiveness is possible, family is enduring, and genuine love requires sacrifice.
