Today we have a guest writer reviewing for us. I've not read this book, but it will definitely go on my to-read list. If you have read the book, or any by this author, how do you rate them?

In The Land of Mango Sunsets, author Dorothea Benton Frank illustrates that coming of age is not just for the young. In fact, if we have the kind of meaningful, eventful life that spurs personal growth, we probably ‘come of age’ several times.

The Land of Mango Sunsets, like all of Frank’s books, revolves around the low country of South Carolina; a place where southern ideals still reign true and sultry seascapes soothe and heal.

In this case the heroine, Miriam Elizabeth Swanson has been living in New York City for all of her adult life. In traveling home to Sullivans Island she finds freedom from childhood angst, outgrown perceptions, as well as strength after a soul crushing divorce, by forgiving her dying mother. She also finds true love, but romance is an aside to personal growth and the healing of her relationships with her grown children.

Frank manages to tell this story with humor and sensitivity so that it is not in anyway sad or depressing. It is a thoroughly enjoyable and uplifting book. Reviewed by Marcia.
