Named a Finalist in the Indie Excellence Book Awards, 2nd place for Newbie Fiction-Royal Dragonfly Book Awards, Honorable Mention Eric Hoffer Book Awards, Finalist Global eBook Awards Includes Book Club Discussion Guide Propelled by an insurmountable sense of desperation, Stevie Burke is recklessly abandoning home, husband, and outwardly contented life under cover of night; at last resigned to defeat in her long battle against the tortured memories of the past. Days later, lost and floundering in a dreary motel room without plan or destination, it is a long ago song playing on the radio that gently tugs Stevie back through the dust of remembrance. 1957 - The last summer spent at the ancient house overlooking the North Atlantic. A season which had unfolded with abundant promise, but then spiraled horribly out of control - torn apart by a shattering tragedy that leaves a family impossibly broken ... This is a coming-of-age story at its best. It was as if I could smell the sea air as the words unfolded from the page and danced around me. It was really breathtaking. An impressive and detailed story of love, loss, and betrayal ... An amazingly accurate account of how many lives can be affected by one single moment in time, and how long the repercussions can last. The imagery and character depths capture the reader by both hands with the author not letting go, even at the very end. I recommend this book for anyone who appreciates the beauty of the written word and a story well-told.
