New York Times bestselling author Jill Barnett sweeps
readers away to the sultry California coast in a profoundly
moving story about the power of forgiveness.
One
fateful night, a deadly accident at a Los Angeles
intersection changes the lives and fortunes of three
innocent women -- Kathryn, Laurel, and Julia Peyton --
destined to be caught in a tangled web of obsession,
revenge, and unruly passion. Wealthy California oil magnate
Victor Banning also lost his son and daughter-in-law that
night, an accident caused by his own selfish actions and
dark secrets. Afterward, Victor aspires to raise their sons
Jud and Cale to be just like him: hungry predators in a
dog-eat-dog world...until years later, everything changes
when they meet Laurel Peyton.
Spanning thirty years and
three generations of Peyton women and Banning men, The
Days of Summer follows both deeply affected families as
they recover from the emotional heartbreak of tragedy and
loss -- only to cross paths once again in the most
unexpected of ways. Provocative and lyrical, it explores the
depth of blood ties, the mistakes we make in the name of
love, and our ability to hope, forgive, and find the courage
to change.
