Tim Bryant (timinsc) | 3 comments Hoping to get reviews for The Bird in Your Heart—Literary/Southern Fiction about an Atlanta advertising executive who divorces, loses his job, and returns to his family’s ancestral home on a South Carolina sea island. He plans to sail off to see the world but his mother is going blind and the old place needs huge repairs.

Described as “like a Sue Monk Kidd book and a Pat Conroy book had a baby and then THAT baby grew up and had a baby with a John Kennedy Toole book,” it’s reminiscent of
Don’t Stop the Carnival, the Herman Wouk novel Jimmy Buffet wrote songs about.

A Low Country tangle of oddball island ways, Southern traditions, and Gullah culture written patiently for beach, boat, and book club people.
