Mystery
"Nothing ever changes at Wauregan.” That mystique is the
tradition of the idyllic island colony off the shore of Long
Island, the comforting tradition that its summer dwellers
have lived by for over half a century. But in the summer of
1948, after a world war has claimed countless men—even those
who came home—the time has come to deal with history’s
indelible scars. Helen Wadsworth’s husband, Arthur, was declared missing in
action during an OSS operation in France, but the official
explanation was mysteriously nebulous. Now raising a teenage
son who longs to know the truth about his father, Helen
turns to Frank Hartman—her husband’s best friend and his
partner on the mission when he disappeared. Frank, however,
seems more intent on filling the void in Helen’s life that
Arthur’s absence has left. As Helen’s affection for Frank
grows, so does her guilt, especially when Peter Gavin, a
handsome Marine who was brutally tortured by the Japanese
and has returned with a faithful war dog, unexpectedly stirs
new desires. With her heart pulled in multiple directions,
Helen doesn’t know whom to trust—especially when a shocking
discovery forever alters her perception of both love and war. Part mystery, part love story, and part insider’s view of a
very private world, A Certain Summer resonates in the
heart long after the last page is turned.
