Saturdays at Sweeney’s
When the seafood business Lovie Sweeney established sixty years ago is destroyed by fire, she finds herself at the center of an arson investigation. What really happened that night? Is Lovie responsible for starting the fire or is her family under attack from a sworn enemy?
The loss of their family business leaves the Sweeney clan in flux. Samantha faces the challenges of rebuilding the market while her son, Jamie, on track to graduate from college in six months, must decide whether to make his permanent home in Prospect or move to Charleston where a new special someone resides. At age forty-five, Faith, who has never fully recovered from an abusive marriage, is on a quest to find her true passion? Jackie is distraught when her son, Sean, flunks out of college and struggles to find direction in his life without his twin brother to guide him. A medical diagnosis brings the sisters closer together and threatens to change family dynamics forever.
The Sweeney women remind us that it’s never too late to begin a new endeavor and to never stop chasing your dreams until you draw your last breath.

I have enjoyed this relevant and engaging series featuring three divergently different Lowcountry sisters and their addled yet feisty mother. Ms. Farley’s insightful narrative captured their inner conflict and turmoil with sensitivity and occasional hits of amusing levity which I fully appreciated as I've always found it preferable to laugh than to cry. I will miss the Sweeney sisters but was more than satisfied with their swan song.
What a heartwarming book. If you have not read any of the other books in this series, the author brings you up-to-date. Truthfully I have never read a book that touched on so many issues that have, or are affecting my life. The tenderness, tough love, questioning, insecurities and support are brought up in such a way that one cannot help but place themselves right in the midst of each situation. I am sure you will also find a little of yourself in the pages of this book. Oh and by the way, keep the tissues handy! This is real life, set in a fictional story, that will open your eyes and hearts to the importance of love, understanding and support of those who surround you! Ashley is an exceptional author who draws you in from the first page! I can’t recommend this book enough!
Once you’ve read the first page and entered the world of the Sweeney Sisters, their families and their treasured mother, Lovie, you won’t want to stop until you’ve read the final word . . . A family that is full of complications, struggles, hurts, deeply buried secrets, addictions, bitterness and jealousy. This same family is also filled with laughter, joy, pride, fun, survival, hard work, encouragement and understanding.
It brings the family full circle and some of the issues are what we might experience ourselves. Great life lessons! If you haven't read this series you need to run to the store and pick it up. So good!
Reading about the Sweeney family again was so much fun – it was like having coffee with longtime friends and catching up on old times.

Lessons Learned: My Inspiration for Writing Nell and Lady
The idea for Nell and Lady came to me as I stood at the same window on the sixth floor of the medical center in Charleston where Lady waits for Nell in the opening scene of the book. I’ve spent a lot of time at that wall of windows recently, looking out over the boats...

5 Drinks to Enjoy While Reading
It is hot and steamy in Central Virginia. Typical weather for mid-July. My favorite time of day is six o'clock, when I pour myself a cold drink and escape with a good book for a brief period before the hectic dinner hour arrives. I wanted to share some of my favorite...

Incorporating Pinterest
What woman doesn't like to look at stunning images of vacation destinations, dream kitchens, and delectable dishes? I know I do. For years, I listened to authors talking about promoting their work on Pinterest, but I couldn't figure out how to make this visual social...

Writers, Have You Rocked The Vault?
When I’m in writing mode, I like to move from room to room in my house. The change or scenery clears my mind. My preference for writing spots varies with the seasons. In the winter, I prefer sitting in my pink velvet chair by my gas logs. When the weather is nice, I...
