About the book:Summer's List (River North, June 2015)
A dying wish alters the course of a young woman's life.
Life hadn't been easy for Summer Snow. In acts of selflessness---caring for her ailing parents and running her grandmother's bookstore---she had forfeited her youth and dreams for the needs of others. And the only tries she had at love . . . didn't turn out. She had the bookstore, she had her beloved granny, but she was missing something---or someone.
Opportunity strikes when Granny sends Summer on an unexpected adventure with one Martin Langtree, a kind but gangly young man from Summer's past. A childhood friendship is rekindled, a romance is sparked, and mysteries are solved in one magical Texas summer. Will Summer strike out on love again, or will things finally go her way?
My Review:
Every book I've read by Anita Higman is like an enchanting
holiday away from the chaos of life. I love her ability to write beautiful
stories in modern day settings that read like fairy tales. Summer's List is a delightful
story of friendship and love. I once read a quote, "Let's put the fun back in dysfunctional." Summer and Martin experience the fall-out of a family hurt by circumstance, but believe faith can make a difference.
As always, Anita's characters come to life on the
page and find their way into the heart. I especially liked Summer's grandmother
and strive to have the insight and faith she showed her granddaughter. Summer's
List is a charming tale and excellent choice for a summer read.
