Summer's End by Kathleen Gilles Seidel is a story of family bonds and entanglements, brimming with drama, love, fun, and sun. This is women's fiction at its most compelling and entertaining--a tale of clashing personalities and irresistible attractions, as two families joined by marriage gather at a retreat in Minnesota. Seidel's Summer's End is a perfect summer read--gripping, poignant, uplifting, funny--a novel that satisfies on so many levels, particularly if you're a fan of the fiction of Mary Alice Monroe, Emilie Richards, and Kristin Hannah.
To their respective families, Jack Wells and Amy Legend were outsiders, misunderstood. The son of an admiral, Jack is a free-spirited man-of-all-trades, unlike his methodical lawyer sister, who takes after their deceased father, And beautiful, golden Amy, an acclaimed professional athlete, leads a glamorous life in a world apart from her book-loving siblings. When Gwen Wells, Jack's widowed mother, marries Hal Legend, Amy's widower father, they hope their families will get along and plan an extended vacation at the Legends' rustic retreat in northern Minnesota, thrusting the two families together. Though everyone is on their best behavior, long-simmering conflicts, lingering grief, clashing personalities, and two months of close quarters bring true feelings quickly to the surface. When what should have been at best a familial affection between Jack and Amy becomes an undeniable romantic interest, are they willing to risk rending the fragile new bond between their families to find happiness together?
