Muddy Bottom

Palmetto Island, Book 0.5

By: Ashley Farley

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

A mother and daughter pick up the pieces of their lives after being abandoned by their father/husband.

Birdie Fuller's new year is off to a bad start. Her husband has mysteriously disappeared, leaving Birdie to cope with their unmarried daughter's unplanned pregnancy. Birdie and Hannah disagree about the baby. Birdie urges her daughter to consider abortion, but Hannah is determined to see the pregnancy to term.

When Hannah returns for her last semester in college, Birdie must face her demons, the problems in her marriage that drove her husband to clean out their bank accounts and run off with another woman. While struggling to hide her pregnancy from her roommates and ex-boyfriend, Hannah interviews for jobs that will take her and her baby far away from her mother. After graduation, with months to kill before the start of her new career, she returns to Palmetto Island for the summer to await the birth of her baby. Tension mounts between Hannah and Birdie when they move from their waterfront home to a two-bedroom apartment above a bakery. Can mother and daughter mend their relationship? Or will they be lost to each other forever?

N/A

Great storyline and character development. Would recommend to others. Loved the interaction between mother and daughter. Looking forward to reading all the books.

Very boring

I listened to her Hope spring books they were good. Wish she had put each character on audiobooks. Unfortunately this book took my interest from her books
