I highly recommend this fun, uplifting title. This novel has it all, war widows, family secrets, wounded vets, struggling married couples, challenging family business, & tight knit neighborhoods. Beneath the realistic struggles of those living at Dolly & Si's boarding house also lies a pirate's love story and perhaps his treasure.

Literally, a joyous read. Five stars to Valerie Fraser Luesse as her writing captivates and draws the reader into the storyline of these interesting characters. I felt like I was in Alabama every time I picked up my book! You will not be disappointed at any stage of the story.
