Karen White is, without question, my 'go to' author. I can always count on a wonderful engaging read and have no hesitations recommending her books to anyone. Just in reading the first few lines of Dreams of Falling, I was hooked. Dreams of Falling is set in Georgetown, South Carolina and is a story of friendship, family, love and secrets. Larkin has finally escaped the low country and found a new sense of self in New York when she receives a call that her mother is missing. She must return to Georgetown and when she does, she truly realizes that you really can't go home again. Larkin's mother Ivy is found alive but badly injured inside the ruins of their ancestral plantation home but no one knows why she was there. While Larkin waits for her mother to wake up, she delves into some of the history behind the plantation and her mother and grandmother's pasts.
Karen White develops characters like no one else. She writes strong female characters that are unique, memorable and relatable. I'm always transported to the Southern locales that the books are set in and often don't want to leave. With Karen White books, I am usually torn between reading the book as quickly as I can while not wanting the story to end, and Dreams of Falling was no exception. A five star read for me!
