Book Overview

"An inspirational tale of redemption and...the power of love." --Publishers Weekly For one woman, a sea turtle rescue leads to a summer of new beginnings... Toy Sooner kept her vow to her beloved mentor, the original turtle lady of the Isle of Palms. She left behind an abusive, dysfunctional lifestyle to become a strong single mother and an aquarist at the South Carolina Aquarium. But success has taken its toll, leaving Toy fearful of change and risks. It's only been through the enduring love of a close-knit group of women that she's finally started to find her footing. The turtle season begins the day Toy rescues a sick sea turtle on the beach. When Toy brings the loggerhead to the aquarium, she founds a turtle hospital and spends long nights working alongside her boss, Ethan. As the summer progresses and the sea turtles take their measured steps toward healing and freedom, Toy must find the strength within herself to make it safely to shore. A deeply satisfying novel written with an eye to nature and keen insights into the connections between women, Swimming Lessons is perfect for fans of Susan Wiggs and Mary Kay Andrews.

Sweet, Satisfying Sequel

This absolutely wonderful sequel to "The Beach House" brings together all the "turtle ladies" whose mission it is to rescue endangered sea turtles who lumber up onto South Carolina's beaches once a year to lay their eggs in a timeless ritual. Civilization being what it is, the nests would be destroyed, purposely or not, if this dedicated band of women (and men) were not there each year to tirelessly make sure that doesn't...

Another great lowcountry summer read!

Ever since I unknowingly picked up a copy of The Beach House to take on a vacation, only to discover that it was all about my beloved Isle of Palms with such delightfully created characters, I have been reading everything written by Mary Alice Monroe I can find. Swimming Lessons did not disappoint. I feel as though Toy, Little Lovie, Flo, Cora, Brett and Ethan are now my personal friends. As I crossed the connector bridge...
