Shem Creek (Lowcountry Tales)

The New York Times bestseller takes readers back to the Lowcountry.

Shem Creek
Dorothea Benton Frank | Berkley Trade, 2006

If you’ve ever wanted to escape the chaos of modern life by running headlong into even more chaos—only with better seafood—Dorothea Benton Frank has you covered. Shem Creek is a warm, witty, Lowcountry tale that follows Linda Breland, a single mom who trades suburban New Jersey stress for the shrimp boats, salty breezes, and social minefields of South Carolina’s coast.

There’s romance, family drama, prickly teenagers, and a waterfront restaurant that’s just begging for trouble. Frank’s signature humor and knack for place-making will have you smelling the marsh air and craving hushpuppies before you’ve turned the last page.

This copy from Crappy Old Books may have a few scuffs, creases, or even a faint whiff of sunscreen—perfectly seasoned for a story set on the water.
