A Summer To Remember
Synopsis:
“As a child, Phoebe Manigault developed the gift of premonition after she was struck by lightning in the creek near her Charleston home. Plagued throughout her life by mysterious dreams, and always living in the shadow of her beautiful sister, Addie, Phoebe eventually moves to the West Coast, as far from her family as possible. Now, years later, she is summoned back to South Carolina, to help Addie care for their ailing mother.
As Phoebe’s return lures her back into deep-rooted tensions and conflicts, she is drawn to Celeste, whose granddaughter went missing years ago. Their connection brings comfort to Phoebe, while Celeste’s adult grandson Liam resurrects complicated emotions tied to Phoebe’s past.
But the longer Phoebe spends in her childhood home, the more her recurring nightmares intensify—bringing her closer to the shocking truth that will irrevocably change everything. Unfolding against the lush backdrop of the South Carolina Lowcountry, That Last Carolina Summer is an unforgettable story about the unbreakable bonds of family and the gift of second chances.” (amazon.com)
My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this book. I learned a great deal about birds. When I learned about this book from the author, she spoke about the theme of birds and how important they are to the story. The main character is Phoebe, which is a bird reference. I understood the struggles that adult children can have with taking care of elderly parents. The story also explores how one choice affects many people and their desire to move forward. The pages turned easily led to a satisfying conclusion.
