About the Book
The Lady Of
McCalleys Creek
A Lowcountry Shrimping & Crabbing Adventure
Step into the world of The Lady of McCalleys Creek, where shrimp nets, crab pots, and coastal fog set the scene for one woman’s journey into uncharted territory, both on the water and within herself. Based on true events, Terry Lynn Futrell’s debut memoir invites readers into the heart of South Carolina’s Lowcountry, where days begin with the tide and end with stories worth telling. From battling sandbars to finding her place in a tight-knit, often unwelcoming community, Terry’s experiences are shared with humor, humility, and unwavering honesty.
More than just a firsthand look at the shrimping and crabbing life, this book paints vivid scenes of the natural beauty that surrounds McCalleys Creek: sunrises reflecting off the water, dolphins trailing the boat, and the ever-present pull of the tides. Through every chapter, you’ll feel the salt air, hear the hum of the diesel engine, and witness the transformation of a woman who dared to trade comfort for calling. It’s a journey told from the deck of a boat, but the lessons echo far beyond the water.
More Than a Memoir
This isn’t just a story about boats, nets, and muddy creeks. It’s about finding strength when life shifts beneath your feet. The Lady of McCalleys Creek is a powerful testament to what it means to start over, to step into unfamiliar waters, and to trust that even in the chaos, there’s a greater plan at work. With honesty and heart, Terry Lynn Futrell invites readers into her world, a world full of risk, resilience, and the raw beauty of the Lowcountry.
Beyond the tide charts and shrimp baskets, this book is a spiritual journey. It’s about leaning into faith when the road gets rough and learning to find God in unexpected places, like sunrises over the marsh, the laughter of new friends, and even the stillness of empty pots. If you’ve ever faced a season of change or questioned the path you’re on, this story will speak to your soul and remind you that it’s never too late to begin again.
