That Summer

For fifteen-year-old Haven this is the summer where everything changes.

Dad is remarrying. Her sister Ashley is planning a wedding of her own. They're both moving on, but Haven is lost in memories of a time when life was happy and her family was whole.

And then Ashley's ex, the charming and funny Sumner Lee, arrives in town. He reminds Haven of carefree days gone by, and she can't help but wonder - has fate brought this person from her past back to change her future?

Reviews

Teeters on a precipice between savagery and immense compassion, it crackles with energy and the seering heat of deep felt, raw, human emotions

—— Jake Hope , The Bookseller

This is an intriguing novel. It moves at a good pace and keeps the reader on side. The main character for all his doom and gloom is engaging. Even the weirdly duplicitous Angel has a curious fascination

—— Books for Keeps

A credible, tense and dark novel

—— Mary Arrigan , Irish Examiner

A tremendously satisfying novel . . . Tense and exciting. 4 1/2 stars

—— Jill Murphy , The Bookbag

Edge-of-the-seat drama with an ingenious twist

—— Writing Magazine
