Porch Lights - Dorothea Benton Frank

one sentence summary
A woman trying to pull her life back together takes her son moves home to her parents house for the summer.

review: 
not a badly written book, I enjoyed the perspectives that it offered and the detailed descriptions of South Carolina. The romance was a bit forced but the other relationships, mother/daughter, grandmother/grandson, and that of the grandmother/grandfather characters were all very well done. The story starts out from a dark and depressed place and ends with a happy ending. The writing style reminded me of Kristin Hannah / Jodi Picoult.

7/10
