Hugo, Hush Puppies and The Marine Barbara Williamson

In the world of 1989 Angela DeLucci and her kitten LB leave her hometown of Providence R. I. and head south in search of a new life. After helping her parents move to Florida she travels to Historic Charleston, South Carolina and buys a run down beach house on beautiful Folly Beach. Angela hires a handsome, clever and provocative retired Marine, Jack Marlin to repair and restore her new home. As Angela and the Marine work together to transform the property their two powerful personalities clash over tile, appliances and paint color. Angela's nostalgic style confounds the logical Jack and produces stormy, spirited and life changing encounters. As Angela re-builds her life and beach house she is treated and exposed to Gullah traditions, southern cuisine and the beauty of the Low Country. Her new island lifestyle is enriched with new friendships, personal discovery and exciting family events. A mighty force called Hurricane Hugo delivers added twists and turns providing challenges that Angela wishes to avoid.
