A Lone Palm Stands

Lone Palm seriesbook 1 of 1

Set in the Lowcountry of South Carolina in 1989, A Lone Palm Stands follows the sometimes zany, sometimes tragic life of Angela Jenkins, a seventeen-year-old singer-songwriter whose world is turned upside down by Hurricane Hugo, a category four storm that all but destroyed Charleston and its surrounding sea islands. With the help of an eccentric aunt, Angela begins a new life, and embarks on a remarkable journey of self-discovery that takes her from the rural South to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. But her promising future as a pop star is threatened by the jealously and betrayal of her friends-and the shocking secret that is about to be revealed by the ghost of a mysterious little girl. Haunting and thought-provoking, A Lone Palm Stands is more than just the story of one life: it's a unique commentary on love, family, and our spiritual nature It's also a testimony to the resiliency of the people of South Carolina and their proven ability to survive 'come hell or highwater.'
