REVIEW:  Carolina Home by Virginia Kantra

REVIEW: Carolina Home by Virginia Kantra

Dear Ms. Kantra, I grew up going to the beach each summer, often to North Carolina beaches, so a book set there looked like a good summer read. And let me say that grilled wahoo, served and eaten on a beach house porch with evening sea breezes blowing in, is some of the best eating(…)
