Teenager Pam Ackerman is looking forward to the promising life she sees before her. She loves her hometown and parents, and her father's career as an attorney has set the family up with a comfortable life of opportunity.
Then the unthinkable happens: her father abandons the family. While her mother scrambles to earn a living, Pam is sent to a tiny Tennessee town for the summer. Heartbroken and feeling uncertain in her new environment, Pam doesn't know how she'll survive till fall to see her mother and friends again.
And then the miraculous happens: she falls in love. In Obion Summer's more innocent time of the 1980s, before the ease of communication associated with social media and cell phones, Pam must find a way to balance love of home with romantic love.
Stephen Manley has crafted a love story of more than one kind--one to home, one to romance, and one to the charm and beauty of small-town northwest Tennessee. Obion Summer is both a heart-wrenching and a sweet novel for preteen and teen readers.
