When artist Liza Cassidy heads for tiny Alcott, New Hampshire, she's traveling back in time - to the last year of her twin sister Laurel's life. Five years have passed since Laurel died, and Liza's grief is finally a dull ache instead of a fresh wound. But an unopened letter has revealed a secret about Laurel's last months that Liza never imagined: a child. Liza needs to meet the little boy who is the only remaining link to Laurel, but what she finds in charming Alcott is far more complicated than a child with the Cassidys' red hair - such as young Tommy's enigmatic father, Sheriff Jack McCall. For cautious, careful Liza, who was always the flip side of Laurel's free-spirited independence, connecting to Jack and Tommy is both a temptation and a risk. But as she settles into the community her twin called home, she suspects that finishing what Laurel began might be the last gift her sister had given her

AWESOME STORY!
Wow, I just finished reading this book and I can't stop thinking about it! I loved everything about it. I love sister books anyway, and this is one of the best I've ever read. And the 3 McCall brothers make it even better...

A real page turner

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Liza Cassidy leaves California to close her family home in Nevada following the death of her mother. As she goes through things, she finds the autopsy of her twin sister Laurel dead five years from a brain tumor. Liza is stunned as Laurel apparently gave birth to a child.
Liza travels to Alcott, New Hampshire where Laurel spent her last happy days. There she confronts Laurel's beloved Jack McCall, sire of her nephew and meets little Tommy recovering from chemo due to cancer now in remission. As Liza and Jack exchange information about the beloved Laura, they fall in love. However, will they be able to overcome the ghost of her twin to find their own happiness even though she would have wanted that for two of the people she most loved in the world.
COME SUMMER is clearly a tear jerker with Laurel's death and Tommy's leukemia. However, readers will too easily categorize the novel that way for the tale is much more as the entertaining story line is a deep character study that looks inside the soul of the lead couple and indirectly Laurel. The key support cast, mostly his relatives and friend, but also her deceased mom and sister, provide depth as each one is unique so that the audience receive a strong drama that will touch the heartstrings of fans. This work is dynamite reading
