Putting herself first doesn't come easy to Cleo Grayson
McCarthy. A loving wife, doting mother, and dutiful
daughter-in-law, she has always done her writing on the
side, in hours stolen from her "real" life. Now, desperate
for the solitude she needs to finish her latest novel, she
convinces her husband that she must spend the summer at her
best fiend's rustic cottage at Cameo Lake in New Hampshire,
out of reach of cell phones and the demands of family and
friends.
Even as she immerses herself in her work,
Cleo can't help but be aware of the man who lives across the
lake. A reclusive composer, Ben Turner is struggling to come
to terms with his wife's accident. An outcast, he is
regarded with suspicion by the lake community, even accused
by some of harming his wife. But at night, Cleo hears his
music drifting across the water, and senses she has found a
kindred spirit.
As they meet time and again -- often
on the raft anchored in the middle of Cameo Lake -- Cleo and
Ben begin a satifying friendship suprising in its intimacy
and depth. And when a painful betrayal leaves Cleo stunned
and adrift, she finds unexpected comfort and absolution in
Ben's arms.
But love is never simple, and before Cleo
can determine whether to fight for her marriage or seek a
future with Ben, she must first know her own heart, and
admit truths ling left unsaid. Even as Cleo struggles to
come to terms with her own truths, Ben must find a way to
face his. An unforgettable take of the many faces of love,
Cameo Lake is Susan WIilson at her very finest.
