Laney Coleman is an "old soul" and wiser than her age. At
52, she and her husband, Noah, have 5 sons, and life has
given them great joy as well as deep sadness as they venture
through the lives.
Elijah, Gage, Ben, Seth, and another "old soul" at 1, Asher,
are the center and life of Laney and Noah's being. Noah is a
minister in Cape Cod and a firm believer that even though
there is tragedy God is still ever present and with them.
Noah's parents, Maddie and Asa, live in New Hampshire and
spend their summers at the Cape. The family has more than
their share of dealing with the mysterious ways in which God
works as they are tested by a 10 year old's death, a student
bullying Asher, a family member facing a brain tumor,
dealing with a beach wedding, and ending with a death. Noah
and his faith are tested when tragedy strikes in his own
domain. The lesson taught is that life unfolds in unexpected
ways, but God is always present to guide us. The beautiful
setting of the Cape enhances the lives of the Coleman
family.
UNDER A SUMMER SKY by Nan Rossiter is a very heartwarming
and fulfilling story of life, love, and tragic loss which is
endured by everyone in the normal course of life. Having God
at your back is the ultimate in overcoming the
obstacles thrown at you during your lifetime. I fell in love
with the Coleman's while feeling their heartbreak and also
their happiness in the love of God. I am never disappointed
with Nan Rossiter's wonderful tales and her ability to
include the love of animals. The delicious recipes included
are just a plus in UNDER A SUMMER SKY.It's refreshing to
read a story of this caliber and be left with contentment
and faith in the lasting bonds of family.
New York Times bestselling author Nan Rossiter
transports readers to Cape Cod with a warm, compelling story
of family, new beginnings, and finding the courage to love
honestly and well...
The old Cape Cod house that Laney Coleman shares with her
minister husband Noah and their five boys is usually
brimming with cheerful chaos. There's nothing fancy about
the ancient kitchen or the wooden floors scuffed by the
constant parade of activity and the clicking claws of their
two Labrador retrievers. It's a place to savor the sea
breeze wafting through the windows, or sip coffee on the
porch before another hectic day begins. This summer, life
promises to be even busier than usual, because Noah's
younger brother, Micah, wants to hold his upcoming wedding
on their property.
Though thrilled that Micah has found happiness after past
heartache, Laney is apprehensive about having her home
turned upside down. She has other concerns too--her youngest
son is being bullied at school, and Noah's father is not the
robust patriarch he once was, in mind or body. As the bride
and groom's large, close-knit families gather, there will be
joyful celebration but also unexpected sorrows and
revelations, and a chance to store up a lifetime of memories
during the fleeting, precious days of summer...
