New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Mary McNear brings you home to Butternut Lake and a
novel filled with irresistible characters who you will want
to call your friends.
It’s summertime on Butternut Lake, where the heat of
noon is soothed by the cool breezes of the evening, where
the pace grows slower, and sometimes, just sometimes, the
summer light makes everything clearer...
For the lovely Billy Harper, Butternut Lake is the place she
feels most at home, even though lately she feels the only
one listening to her is Murphy...her faithful Labrador
Retriever. Her teenage son, Luke, has gone from precious to
precocious practically overnight. Her friends are wrapped up
in their own lives, and Luke’s father, Wesley, disappeared
before his son was even born. No wonder she prefers to spend
time with a good book, especially ones where everything ends
in perfection.
But Billy is about to learn that anything is possible during
the heady days of summer. Coming to terms with her past—the
death of her father, the arrival of Cal Cooper, a
complicated man with a definite interest in Billy, even the
return of Wesley, will force her to have a little bit of
faith in herself and others...and realize that happiness
doesn’t always mean perfection.
