Now, divorced, alone for the summer, and desperate to save her small gift shop, she does the unthinkable and returns to Evening Island, hoping a quick sale of the long-forgotten house can solve her problems. What she doesn't expect is for it to open her heart. Rachel may be an expert when it comes to other people's marriages, but she has a creeping sensation that she's failed at her own.

Ashley is no stranger to heartache, which is exactly why she never plans to experience it again. Leaving the island was never easy but returning may be something she lives to regret. As memories of the past creep up as quickly as the prospect of a future she never dared envision, Ashley begins to wonder if she's ready to say goodbye to this house again, or the man who just may have made her dare to believe in love.

The Summer That Made Us is an unforgettable story about a family learning to accept the past, to forgive and to love each other again. That was then… For the Hempsteads, two sisters who married two brothers and had three daughters each, summers were idyllic. The women would escape the city the moment school was out to gather at the family house on Lake Waseka. The lake was a magical place, a haven where they were happy and carefree. All of their problems drifted away as the days passed in sun-dappled contentment. Until the summer that changed everything. This is now… After an accidental drowning turned the lake house into a site of tragedy and grief, it was closed up. For good. Torn apart, none of the Hempstead women speak of what happened that summer, and relationships between them are uneasy at best to hurtful at worst. But in the face of new challenges, one woman is determined to draw her family together again, and the only way that can happen is to return to the lake and face the truth. Robyn Carr has crafted a beautifully woven story about the complexities of family dynamics and the value of strong female relationships.
