Santee Magic

Historic romance novelist Mary Miller Shelley creates a brilliant epic of love and wanderlust in Santee Magic, a novel in which two young couples fall hopelessly in love with their paramours, but ultimately lead very different lives. Set in the small South Carolina town of Santee during the summer of 1997, this novel is a stunning portrait of passion that never dies and love that never gives up hope. As Jasmine Ray comes together with Lee Hampton and Michelle Canty unites with Charles Dupree to say their “I dos,” a vision of true love is written that will withstand fate’s cruel hand when one of the starry-eyed foursome is kidnapped. Transcending the act of falling in love, Shelley writes of things that are timeless and eternal. With a fluid prose that moves like the lapping waters of Santee’s Lake Marion, she shows readers how it is a man will go to the ends of the earth when he finds the woman of his dreams.
