Summers at Blue Lake

Jill Althouse-Wood's Summers at Blue Lake was a good story.  Unexpected little twists and a surprise that leaves the reader wondering if they would do the same thing.

The story focuses on a woman going through a divorce.  She and her son head to the house on Blue Lake where she spent summers as a child. The house belonged to her grandparents, who have both since died.  She spends her time clearing things out and in the process reflecting on them, her past and her future.  She rekindles an old relationship and an old romance.

Along the way, a secret is revealed; a big secret that her grandparents kept. She has to figure out what she will do with the information.  That is the question that the reader is left wondering about.  Would you do the same thing?  I am not sure that I would have.

This was a very interesting book with characters you can care about and a plot unlike any other I have ever read.  I would recommend it.

Happy Reading!
