Anne Rivers Siddons's insightful and deeply felt narrative takes us back into the place she knows best -- Carolina's Low Country.Anny Butler is a caretaker, a nurturer, first for her own siblings, and then as a director of an agency specialized in the welfare of children. What she's never had is a real family. That changed when she met Lewis Aiken, an exuberant surgeon fifteen years over the age of Anny. If they marry, she finds her family. Not a traditional one, but several Charleston childhood friends who are inseparable, who are one another's surrogate family. They are really called the Scrubs.Instantly after meeting them at the old beach house on Sullivans Island, that they co-own, Anny knows that she's found home and family.Bad things commence to happen, but still the rest of the Scrubs cling together, watched over and bolstered by Camilla Curry, the heart and core of their group. It is the first-time Anny has felt this kind of love and support. But Anny must learn that everything is much less it appears, that some loves carry a secret and terrible price.
