The crises of a summer can be traced to the relationships and choices of the past, and families and friends come together. I would have liked to see more depth in the characters, but it was a relaxing read that doesn't ask the reader to work too hard. But what's with the cover? Nothing about beaches in the story....I guess it's just a marketing ploy. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
From Jean Reynolds Page--the critically acclaimed author of The Space Between Before and After and one of the most compelling voices in contemporary women's fiction--comes a dazzling novel of loss and redemption, of relationships that damage and those that heal. Thirty-nine and pregnant by a man she's decided to leave behind in California, Jules' life is changing. Always the protected daughter, she must now relinquish that role and prepare to be a mother herself. But her efforts are upstaged by shocking allegations from a local teen in her North Carolina hometown. The boy has accused her of what the police are calling "inappropriate sexual contact." Three men rally in her defense: Lincoln, her brother, who flies in from New York to help her; Sam, her high school boyfriend, who after so many years still offers unconditional support; and Walt, the uncle of the teen, who charms Jules with his intelligence and unanticipated kindness. Her search for the truth about the troubled teenager becomes, for Jules, a first step toward discovering the woman she wishes to be. But with so many wrong choices behind her, how can she trust herself with the future of her unborn child? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This felt over the top, and like it went on forever (not in a good way!)
Story about Julie, adopted at birth by Marnee and Jack,and grew up up South Carolina with brother Lincoln.
She returns home at 39, pregnant,and boyfriend -free to care of her mom who has a terminal illness. While home, she is accused by a young boy of sexual abuse. Her return brings her in touch with her first love, Sam, and a crush, Walt.
The book needed some serious editing, very felt contrived and needed to suspend a lot of belief and couldn't relate to the main characters. ( )
