The Summer Cottage

â€œBeautifully written and closely observed, The Summer Cottage captures the deep and complicated love of family. Reading this lovely novel, I felt the embrace of summer on the shoreline.â€ --Luanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author

Spanning two summers decades apart, Susan Kietzmanâ€™s poignant novel explores the complexities of the peopleâ€”and placesâ€”that shape our livesâ€¦

Helen Street spent every summer of her childhood at her familyâ€™s cedar-shake cottage on Long Island Sound. The youngest of four, she shared her mother Claireâ€™s athletic genes and relished the orchestrated games and competitions that filled those warm, endless days. Unlike her older siblingsâ€”fiery Charlotte, ambitious Thomas, middle-child Pammyâ€”Helen rarely felt the pressure of her motherâ€™s high expectations.

Thirty years later, with her brother and sisters scattered, Helen is the sole caregiver for Claire, now terminally ill. Knowing her death is imminent, Claire has put Helen in the awkward position of telling the others that she plans on leaving everything, including the cottage, to Helen when she diesâ€”unless everyone comes to the shore for a long weekend over the Fourth of July. During this time together, Helen, Charlotte, Pammy, and Thomas will revisit their long-ago decisions and assumptions. And they will face new choices that could shatter their fragile kinshipâ€”or reveal a familyâ€™s extraordinary power to remember, to forgive, and to growâ€¦

â€œThis is solid beach-read material that will be particularly appealing to those who like stories of family secrets.â€ --Booklist
