From the desk of
Victoria Frank I don’t know where my mother's obsession with weather came from. I don’t know if it was because she was a southerner that she was so impressed with snow, or if it was because she was an islander, and knew the forces of nature intimately. Whatever the case, she was a hurricane herself. One of the most talented, generous, loyal, hilarious, smart, and genuine people that I, or many of her fans, family, and friends knew. ost people know her from her M heart-warming novels about the Lowcountry of South Carolina and the incredible of cast of characters that she invented. For those who knew her personally, we knew that she was the best character of all. I was lucky enough to be her daughter and best friend, we even got to write a book together, but the best gift she gave me was herself. Having the privilege of being at her apron strings, I was given the opportunity to learn first hand the power of self confidence, hard work, and a dream. 6
My mother started her writing career at the age of forty-eight. She was inspired to share her story after the biggest heartbreak of her life, the death of her mother. She knew that her story might help heal the hearts of many, and also to do it with laughter, the sharpest tool in her toolbox. My mother would always tell me that you can say anything but to focus on the delivery. She decided to write a novel without any formal training or degree. It wound up selling over two million copies and hitting the best sellers list the week it was released, a feat she would go on to repeat for each of her subsequent novels.. She just made it happen. My mother would set a goal and reach it. She loved to prove everyone wrong while wowing the rest of us. She was never afraid to dress up. Known for her gorgeous jewels, sparkly blue eyes and signature red lipstick, my mother always made life a celebration. She was a fabulous entertainer - absolutely nobody threw a party like Dot Frank.
Holidays were nothing short of spectacular in our household, and that goes for birthdays too. I remember during my fourth birthday she got on her hands and knees to sponge paint a yellow brick road on mural paper throughout our house and hot glued red sequins onto my Mary Janes. She loved to thrill us, and show us that magic was possible. One Christmas, she took all of my Barbie dolls, made them all wings out of tin foil, and suspended them from the ceiling using fishing wire to make them look like they were dressing the tree. She made sure, that we had an unbelievable childhood. She made us believe that anything was truly possible. Much like the pieces you will see here in this collection, you will know that they directly reflect who she was. Strong, beautiful, and classic… just like a hurricane.

These hilarious lamps were fixtures in our sunroom, affectionately called the “jungle room”. My mom had a moment where she couldn’t stop decorating it.

The walls had two monkeys painted on them - one holding a mirror with my moms reflection and the other one reading the Wall Street Journal to be my dad haha!
