The Summer That Changed Everything

By: Brenda Novak

Narrated by: Courtney Patterson

She returned to prove her father's innocence, but there's no telling what she'll find…

It's been fifteen years since Lucy Sinclair saw her father. Fifteen long years since she sat in a courtroom and watched him sentenced to life in prison. He murdered three victims—all people she knew—which ruined her life at just seventeen. But now she’s back in Virginia to talk to him, wondering if there’s more to the story of what happened that fateful night.

An old flame, Ford Wagner, makes his own return to North Hampton Beach, fleeing a marriage that seems destined for divorce. He’s wary of Lucy and her digging into the past, but the more time they spend together, the closer they get and the more he finds himself reconsidering the truth behind the death of their mutual friend that summer. Problem is, there are plenty of those in this small coastal town who would prefer things stay quiet…

An engaging story!

An engaging story from beginning to the end. When Lucy returns to North Hampton Beach to look for the truth of what happened 15 years ago, she finds that there are quite a few people keeping secrets. Reuniting with Ford, an old flame, together they set out to uncover all the secrets that could change both of their lives.

It took some getting used to the narrator but I already eyeball read this book before listening so it wasn’t too hard to follow the story.
