A timely, tender, and compassionate tale of perseverance, love, and
the bonds of family in the face of tremendous and sometimes painful
upheaval in this latest novel in the New York Times bestselling Beach
House series.
The coming of spring usually means renewal, but for Linnea Rutledge,
this spring is a season of challenge. Linnea faces another layoff, this
time from the aquarium she adores, and her family's finances, emotions,
and health teeter on the brink. To complicate matters, her new love
interest, Gordon, struggles to return to the Isle of Palms from England.
Meanwhile, her old flame, John, turns up from California and is
quarantining next door. She tries to ignore him, but when he sends her
plaintive notes in the form of paper airplanes, old sparks ignite. When
Gordon at last reaches the island, Linnea wonders--is it possible to
love two men at the same time?
Love in the time of COVID-19 proves challenging, at times humorous, and
ever changing. Relationships are redefined, friendships made and broken,
and marriages tested. As the weeks turn to months, and another sea
turtle season comes to a close, Linnea learns there are more meaningful
lessons during this summer than opportunities lost: that summer is a
time of wonder, and that the exotic lives in our own backyards.
Poignant and moving, The Summer of Lost and Found is "a novel of
growing up, saying goodbye to the past, and learning to ask yourself the
hard questions, including one of the most vital of all: 'Who do you
really want to be'" (Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling
author).
