Publisher Description
Wedding season has arrived in New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe’s fourth novel in the “distinct, complex, and endearing” (Charleston Magazine) Lowcountry Summer series, set against the romantic, charming Carolina lowcountry.
Nothing could be more enchanting than a summer wedding—or two!—in storied Sullivan’s Island. A centuries-old plantation, an avenue of ancient oaks dripping moss, a sand dune at sunset… it’s all picture perfect, and half-sisters Dora, Carson, and Harper, and their grandmother Marietta “Mamaw” Muir couldn’t be more excited. Wedding dresses are picked, venues booked, and delectable cakes tasted. What could possibly go wrong?
The answer, the Muir clan is soon to find out, is everything. Carson loves Blake, but struggles with giving up her independence. Harper questions if a prenuptial agreement will help or hurt the future of her marriage, and a newly unfettered Dora is uncertain whether she really wants to walk down the aisle again. Just when it seems things couldn’t get more complicated for the Muir sisters, a stranger arrives bearing a long-held family secret that has the potential to upset even the most carefully laid-out wedding plans. With the weddings mere weeks away, the invitations sent out, and the family in tumult, Mamaw and her Summer Girls discover the enduring and powerful bonds of family, and realize that, no matter how different each bride might be, she can still have her perfect wedding.

The only time I can think I would enjoy reading was things I wrote by my own person until I read the first sequence to this series….
Mary Alice Monroe delivers in 4th book of Lowcountry Summer Series
A Lowcountry Wedding is the fourth installment in Mary Alice Monroe's Lowcountry Summer series. We once again meet up with the endearing cast of characters Mamaw, Carson, Harper, and Dora. In the first three books of the series we saw these ladies through love, reconnection, loss, and discovery during the course of one very eventful summer.
We now rejoin these ladies about six months after the conclusion of the third book. Carson and Harper are in a whirlwind preparing for their upcoming weddings. To further complicate preparations, Harper's Granny James arrives from England at about the same time as a mysterious young man visits from Atlanta.
Discoveries are made, tensions flare, and realizations result in last minute changes in plans. As the Muir clan moves through this eventful time, each member makes adjustments from the way things were to the way they may have been meant to be.
Mary Alice Monroe, premier southern writer of women's fiction, has again delivered a tale that is engaging and endearing. We can only hope that this is not the end of the story and that books are in her future to keep us up to date with these remarkable women. This is a recommended read.
