The first novel by the author of acclaimed national bestseller The Sunday Wife, now reissued in paperback.
In a small Alabama town in Zion County, life is finally looking up for 20-year-old Donnette Sullivan. Having just inherited her aunt's old house and beauty shop, she's taken over the business. Her husband, Tim, recently crippled in an accident, is beginning to cope not only with his disability but also with the loss of his dreams. Once a promising artist who gave up art for sports, Tim paints a sign for Donnette's new shop, Making Waves, that causes ripples throughout the small southern community.
In a sequence of events--sometimes funny, sometimes tragic--the lives of Donnette, Tim, and others in their small circle of family and friends are unavoidably affected. Once the waves of change surge through Zion County, the lives of its people are forever altered.

About the Author:
Cassandra King is the author of The Sunday Wife, The Same Sweet Girls and Queen of Broken Hearts. A native of Lower Alabama, she lives in the Low Country of South Carolina with her husband, novelist Pat Conroy.
From AudioFile:
The lead characters in this charming novel told from four viewpoints face life-altering challenges. Chapters titled for characters Donnette, Ellis, Della, and Taylor are read by Colleen Delany, Faith Potts, Nanette Savard, and Barrett Whitener. Regrettably, it's unclear which actor is assigned to each of these fascinating individuals; one assumes that Whitener vocalizes Taylor, the lone male. Whitener applies an appealing naïve tone to his chapters and is convincing with a tongue-tied character's words. The characterization of social climber Ellis is as funny as the self-righteous woman herself. Neither the chapters nor the characterization attributed to Donnette ring true. Overall, each narrator seems to struggle to bring consistency and distinction to his or her lead character, a problem that emphasizes the ambiguous impression left on the listener.
