Folly Beach: Homecoming

Finding Jack

 It was the Fall of 1967. Summer was over; the tourists had 
abandoned the island, the amusement park was closed, and the 
beach had a slightly forlorn look. Mary took all this in as she 
crossed the bridge and traveled the length of Center Street. She had 
never been to Folly Beach, but her mother had spent many summers 
there in her youth. 
Mary had not come to Folly for surf and sand; she was there 
to deliver a Valentine card. A card that should have been mailed 
over thirty years before, and had it been mailed everything would 
have been different. Mary was on Folly Beach to deliver the card 
herself. 
Along the way, Mary was destined to meet many of the 
people that lived on that little island. Some of them became 
determined to help Mary with her quest. Everything could be made 
right, she knew, it was just a matter of finding Jack.
