Corner Drug Store

About the Book

The corner drugstore in a sleepy South Carolina town during the carefree days of the fifties and early sixties was a happy place for childhood friends Lizzy, Sara, Margaret and Leslie Ann. It was a safe place to grow up, make plans and share dreams. That is, until the summer of 1964 following their high school graduation, when the girls were forced to share a dark secret that would change their lives forever; a secret that has kept them apart for twenty-five years.

Circumstances have brought the friends together again; a reunion none of them desire and in fact, fear.

This is a story about childhood friendships, mother-daughter relationships, mistakes made and their consequences, guilt, and finally redemption.
