Garden in the South Battery : A Novel

Garden in the South Battery is the first novel of a trilogy with the main character named Abigail, a 40-something interior designer, who moves to start a new life with her college age daughter, Anna, now living in Charleston, S.C.

Abigail fulfills her lifelong dream of buying a historic home on the infamous Charleston Battery. Yankees, Abigail and Anna, skate their way through living in the South by sipping sweet tea and finding they may have a spirit hanging about in the new home. Through trials and tribulations, they deduce that moving to Charleston and being Southern entails more than just buying a piece of real estate.

Garden in the South Battery is a semi-autobiographical account of a young girl who grew up a dreamer and a storyteller. She evolves into a woman who moves to one of the most magical towns in the South.

Kathryn Wharton is an author whose extensive travel shines through her novels--transporting the reader to Southern towns including Charleston, S.C. and over the pond to England. Her stories combine Kathryn’s interior design experience, love of historic architecture and mystery. A mother of two daughters, Kathryn spins tales of Motherhood, sending them lovingly off into the world.
