Everything seems to be going wrong in Summers life, yet she is a woman who is luckier than she knows. A dancer-turned-schoolteacher, she is recovering from an injury that ended her career in the arts. Her lover Nicholas fears she is depending on him to fulfill her remaining dreams and hopes. And, most ominously of all, her beloved brother is dying, little bits of him slipping away from her each day. As these difficult days crawl forward, Summer will come to terms with life, death, relationships, and her fathers enigmatic, long-ago injunction to travel light. Watching her brother share both his struggle and joy with his partner, Summer will witness love in its most perfect, truest form, and learn how it can transcend all illness, distrust, even the cruelty of time. On this journey Summer will meet her greatest challengerealizing how truly fortunate she is. Katrina Kittle is a powerful new literary voice whose writing will appeal to readers of such searing novels as Jacquelyn Mitchards The Deep End of the Ocean, and Michael Cunninghams Home at the End of the World.
THIS BOOK WILL DRAW YOU INTO THE LIVES OF THE CHARACTERS SO THAT BY THE END YOU'LL FEEL AS IF YOU KNOW THEM. THE SITUATIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS ARE SO REAL AND CLEVERLY DEPICTED. THIS AUTHOR IS ON MY FAVORITE LIST AND I HAVE NOT BEEN DISAPPOINTED WITH ANY OF HER BOOKS THAT I'VE READ. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN.
