I found this book hard to stay with. Maybe because there was so many different things happening or maybe the ghosts and psychics.
Melanie is a real estate agent about to return to work after a long maternity leave following the birth of her twins. Her husband is a writer and her step daughter is a song writer. They all live in an old historical house in Charleston.
Jayne comes to Melanie's office one day saying she inherited a historical house and wants to sell it. She hates old houses and is terrified to even go in.
You have mystery, romance, murder just about everything all wrapped up in one book,

A LOWCOUNTRY CHRISTMAS by Mary Alice Monroe
I love Christmas, this is a story set around Christmas.
In a small shrimping village in South Carolina, lives the McClellan's. Dad has the largest shrimp boat but has had to dock it. He can no longer afford to run it. Mom is a substitute teacher and cleans houses. Miller is 10 and his brother Taylor is a marine recovering at a hospital from his injuries. Taylor is coming home for Christmas and is going to be Miller's present, although he desperately wants one of his friends puppies. Money being tight he is told no.
Will Taylor's PTSD tear everything apart? Will Miller's anger?

THE HURRICANE SISTERS by Dorothea Benton Frank
Another excellent story by Dottie.
This is about three generations of women, grandma Maisie who is 80, her daughter Liz and her daughter Ashley. This is a well to do family, even though Ashley is doing her best to make it on her low wage job by living in the family beach house, which is in need of repairs. She lives there with her best friend. Ashley's brother lives in California and is in a relationship that is not readily accepted.
Ashley and her friend cook up a scheme to throw parties at the beach house to view the sun set. They provide refreshments and entertainment for a cover charge. Praying Ashley's parents do not find out.
Throw in an abusive boyfriend and a hurricane what else could happen?
