With its sandy beaches and bohemian charms, most consider Folly Beach to be one of South Carolina''s most historic and romantic spots. It is also the land of Cate Cooper''s childhood, the place where all the ghosts of her past roam freely. Cate never thought she''d wind up in a tiny cottage named the Porgy House on this breathtakingly lovely strip of coast. But circumstances have changed, thanks to her newly dead husband, who has left Cate homeless, broke and unmoored.
Yet Folly Beach holds more than just memories. Once upon a time another woman found unexpected bliss and comfort within its welcoming arms. An artist, writer and colleague of the revered George Gershwin, Dorothy Heyward enjoyed the greatest moments of her life at Folly with her beloved husband, DuBose.
And for Cate, Folly Beach also holds the promise of the woman she''s always wanted - and is finally ready - to become.
