Low Country - Softcover
Caroline Venable has everything her Southern heritage promised: money, prestige, a powerful husband—and a predictable routine of country-club luncheons, cocktail parties, and dinners hosting her husband's wealthy friends, clients, and associates in his successful land-developing conglomerate.
To escape her stifling routine, Caro drinks a little too much. But her true solace is the Lowcountry island her beloved Granddaddy left her—an oasis of breathtaking beauty that is home to a band of wild ponies. When Caro learns that her husband must develop the island or lose the business, she is devastated. The Lowcountry is her heritage—and what will happen to the ponies whose spirit and freedom have captivated her since childhood?
Saving the island could cost Caroline more than she ever imagined. To succeed, she must confront the part of herself numbed by alcohol and careful avoidance—and shatter long-held ideals about her role in society, her marriage, and ultimately, herself.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Anne Rivers Siddons is the New York Times bestselling author of 19 novels that include Nora, Nora, Sweetwater Creek, Islands, Peachtree Road, and Outer Banks. She is also the author of the nonfiction work John Chancellor Makes Me Cry.
Caroline ("Caro") Venable's life has all of the appearance of Southern gentility: She has a beautiful home, fashionable friends and attends frequent parties at the country club. Siddons's verbal artistry carries us beneath that surface, and we become witnesses to a powerful drama that threatens to shatter this near-perfect world. Monk's subtle accents and vocal inflections range from Caro's soft Southern drawl to gentle Gullah patois and musical Hispanic English. Undiminished by abridgment and enhanced by haunting music, a truly compelling story is told. B.L.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
