Meet Lucy Cameron. A sassy, intelligent woman who owns an art gallery in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, Lucy surrounds herself with a great circle of friends and family. Within her self-prescribed rules for life, Lucy exhibits whimsy - both with her adventures in her historic Southern city and travels abroad. Vivacious, smart, and sensitive, Lucy has a deep love of art, history, architecture, and the simplicity of daily living. Yet, she still feels that something is missing. By chance, she encounters handsome Samuel O'Hara, a preservation contractor who restores houses in this architectural jewel of a city. Sam lives and works on the Eastside, a neighborhood in transition. He has a thirst for travel that leads him to various countries for the sheer joy of exploration. Thailand, China, Fiji, and New Zealand are among the places he ventures with little else than a back pack and a bike. Despite his experiences, Sam is unprepared for the adventure that comes his way when he meets Lucy, a woman almost 10 years his senior. Once together, Lucy and Sam come to realize that love and relationships are more complex and, yet, somehow simpler than either previously understood. Set amidst Charleston's glorious mansions, gardens, and exquisite architecture, Upper King Street offers a fast-paced rollicking tale of love, misunderstanding, growth, and discovery.
