Her novels, including Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, and Folly Beach, have captivated readers with their authentic portrayal of Southern charm and the enduring bonds of community. Over her prolific career, Frank became a New York Times bestselling author, leaving an indelible mark on contemporary Southern fiction until her passing in 2019, her works continuing to transport readers to sun-drenched shores and timeless tales of love and loss.
