One Summer - E-book - ePub

Set in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, "One Summer" depicts two love stories-one lost in time and the other blossoming in the present. McKenzie (Mack) Harper rents a charming summer cottage, hoping for a relaxing vacation. While there, she stumbles upon a 1947 diary that draws her into a world of love and heartbreak. Each entry is written by Rose Degan, a nineteen-year-old who falls in love with a man her parents disapprove of-Cape Elizabeth firefighter Jacob Evans, whom she meets on the cliffs while watching the rescue of a collier's crew after a violent storm. Jacob's grandson, Dean Evans, intercepts Mack's note to his grandfather and becomes intrigued by the mysterious woman and her diary.
Intent on avoiding his mother's matchmaking-her only goal is a grandson-he heads to Cape Elizabeth, unaware that his life is about to change. All of these characters come together in a story of love and friendship.
