From Booklist
Three affluent African Americans travel to McKinnon Island, South Carolina, to put their lives back on track. Dr. Hope Sutton, the New York advice columnist, finds her lover in a compromising situation at the same time she discovers a medical concern that requires monitoring. She retreats to her childhood vacation home and restored hideaway. Rebecca Owens has been the dutiful Charleston wife and stay-at-home mom. She is weary of being taken for granted, battling with her stiff mother-in-law, and not finding time for her dreams and aspirations. She plans a solo vacation to the island to discover herself--for herself and her family. Theodore Howell, the suave Hollywood screenwriter, has recently inherited his three younger siblings after their parents' tragic automobile accident. He soon realizes that until he creates a stronger "family" environment for his spoiled underlings, he will lose them to their own recklessness. When these three meet amid the rich Gullah traditions and beautiful South Carolina coastline, each is able to escape his or her pain and find joy. Lillian Lewis

Carry Your Burdens to the Island of the Ancestors
By Dera R Williams
Rochelle Alers is known for delivering character driven storylines, fabulous settings, fascinating culture and spine tingling romance and in this, women's mainstream genre, there is no exception. In Lessons of a Lowcountry Summer, set in Charleston, South Carolina and the Sea Island of Edisto Island off the coast of the Carolinas, readers are treated to a lesson in American and African American History.
Hope Sutton grew up spending her summers on the island under the tutelage of her beloved Geechee maternal grandmother. There she soaked up the culture, language and all it has to offer. It is there she flees to the house her grandmother left her when her love life spirals out of control. A psychologist and radio personality/columnist, things were looking good. Hope is considering an offer to host a television talk show and the man that she loves has asked her to marry him. All is right with the world until she is thrown into a tailspin. The island becomes a refuge, a place where she can reflect, heal and work on the book she has been wanting to write.
Rebecca Owens of Charleston has had the best of everything, an affluent lifestyle, a loving husband and beautiful children but lately she feels she has been taken for granted. And then there is the little matter of her husband's past affair which she thought she had made peace with. When Rebecca takes the bold step to take a vacation alone to decide where her life is going, she has no idea she will encounter the beautiful cultural traditions of Edisto Island. She embraces the island, the colorful people and culture and in doing so, she takes up the cause of preserving the island and the culture from encroaching land developers. But on the island there is also temptation.
Theo Howell, a renowned writer has had three younger siblings practically dropped into his lap. His deceased mother may not have been a parent to him, but he is determined to do right by his younger siblings. In working through his issues of raising three grieving, resentful teenagers and dealing with his own issues of abandonment, he now realizes how isolated he has been until he comes in contact with a beautiful, intelligent woman on the island. Can these three souls find what they are looking for on this beautiful island?
The food, settings, culture and island sites are a travel log of Edisto Island. Secondary characters, residents of Edisto Island, are enchanting as they share cultural aspects such as basket weaving and fishing. This reviewer, who has always been fascinated with the Sea Islands was pulled into the settings and delighted in learning that the Gullah and Geechee people are one and the same. No doubt Ms. Alers has garnered new fans with this offering.

An emotional journey
By Detroit RAWSISTAZ
Lessons of a Lowcountry Summer is a story about 3 individuals, who
question their lives and find answers on an island off of South
Carolina, called McKinnon Island.
Dr. Hope Sutton: A psychologist turned advice columnist, who got what
she always wanted a successful career and a loving committed man.
Hope was ready to settle down until she finds out that her man is
living a double life. So, Hope takes a vacation at her family home
in South. Now, Hope must discover who she is and what she wants out
of life.
Rebecca Leighton-Owens: A stay-at-home mother and dedicated wife,
Rebecca has the American dream-a successful husband and two beautiful
children. However, in her quest to a wonderful wife and mother, she
has lost herself.
Taking a much needed vacation-alone. Rebecca searched herself to
discover the woman that she is. However, in her quest to help
herself, she may lose her family in the process.
Theodore Howell: A successful, Oscar-nominated screenwriter was the
ultimate bachelor until he becomes guardian of his orphaned two half-
brothers and sister.
Theo must find room in his life for his new ready-made family with
issues and his demanding career. Will find the answers on an island?
Lessons of a Lowcountry Summer is a story with an emotional journey
that explores sexuality, self-identity, love, health, and African-
American history. This story was a wonderful read, which captures
your heart. McKinnon Island even gave me some lessons. I recommend
this book to any sentimental romantic and anyone who struggles on
their journey to self-discovery.

The magic of the islands...
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
When life and all its surprises and unpleasantries become too much to bear, three people from three different cities all seek refuge in the secluded haven of McKinnon Island, a small island off the coast of South Carolina. When they all converge on McKinnon Island, the magic of the island immediately envelopes them, causing them to reflect upon their lives and re-evaluate their priorities. Before they know it, their lives become indelibly intertwined, and to their surprise it's for the better.
Hope Clark, a much sought after advice columnist, gets the shock of her life when she catches her boyfriend in a compromising position...with another man. And this is just as she's ready to accept his marriage proposal.
Rebecca Owens, a stay at home mom, has dedicated her entire life to ensuring the happiness and well-being of her husband and children, while neglecting her own needs. One day, she realizes that she's finally had enough, so she decides that for the sake of her marriage and her peace of mind, she needs a vacation...alone.
Theodore Howell, famed screenwriter and confirmed bachelor, finds his life suddenly turned upside down when he becomes the guardian of his teenage half brothers and sister. Will Theo be able to open his heart his siblings or will he let past hurts stand in the way?
LESSONS OF A LOWCOUNTRY SUMMER was a delightful, wonderful read. I expected no less than perfection from this very talented author, and I was not disappointed. The characters are ones you can identify with, and the plot is realistic. I commend Rochelle Alers for penning another poignant read that I will cherish forever.
