I recommend it to EVERYONE!! She is a great author and I will continue to read her books!!

Couldn't Put COME SUMMER Down

I couldn't put this book down. The day after I finished it, I gave it to one of my friends, saying "You HAVE to read this". And she loved it too!

A real page turner

Liza Cassidy leaves California to close her family home in Nevada following the death of her mother. As she goes through things, she finds the autopsy of her twin sister Laurel dead five years from a brain tumor. Liza is stunned as Laurel apparently gave birth to a child.Liza travels to Alcott, New Hampshire where Laurel spent her last happy days. There she confronts Laurel's beloved Jack McCall, sire of her nephew and meets little Tommy recovering from chemo due to cancer now in remission. As Liza and Jack exchange information about the beloved Laura, they fall in love. However, will they be able to overcome the ghost of her twin to find their own happiness even though she would have wanted that for two of the people she most loved in the world.COME SUMMER is clearly a tear jerker with Laurel's death and Tommy's leukemia. However, readers will too easily categorize the novel that way for the tale is much more as the entertaining story line is a deep character study that looks inside the soul of the lead couple and indirectly Laurel. The key support cast, mostly his relatives and friend, but also her deceased mom and sister, provide depth as each one is unique so that the audience receive a strong drama that will touch the heartstrings of fans. This work is dynamite readingHarriet Klausner

AWESOME STORY!Wow, I just finished reading this book and I can't stop thinking about it! I loved everything about it. I love sister books anyway, and this is one of the best I've ever read. And the 3 McCall brothers make it even better...When artist Liza Cassidy discovers an unopened letter from her beloved sister, who died 5 years earlier, everything changes for Liza, for the letter reveals that Laurel had a child. As Liza travels to the Atlantic seashore, she's travelling back in time--to the last year of Laurel's life. There's much to discover in charming Alcott, NH, such as her adorable nephew, his father, Jack, and jack's brothers, one a preacher, the other the family bad-boy. However nothing is quite as it seems, and a quest for knowledge becomes a discovery of a new life for the McCall brothers and three special women...Hold on to your hats, because you're going to laugh, cheer, worry about, and fall in love with these characters.
