About this listen

Grieving over the loss of her family and feeling like her life is unraveling, Lindsey McDermott quits her job, gets a puppy, and retreats to her grandparents' home in the Texas Hill Country. She spends her solitary days walking childhood trails and reminiscing, trying to reconcile the conflict within her as she struggles with survivor's guilt.

After the death of her husband, Hannah Larson needs a change. At the suggestion of her mother-in-law - and against her better judgment - she and her son Jack move to tiny Utopia and into her husband's grandmother's house.

When Jack and Lindsey form an unlikely friendship, Hannah reluctantly joins them and the three spend the summer swimming and healing as laughter eventually replaces tears. After Jack goes back to school, Hannah assumes their summer fun is over. Instead, Lindsey continues to come around and now - as they find themselves alone - Hannah realizes just how close they've become. Soon, she finds herself struggling with her feelings as their friendship threatens to shift into something much deeper...something she fears she won't be able to fight. Something she fears she won't want to fight.

A story of grief and healing...a story of love.

I enjoyed how the book dealt with grieve through out, good relationships between characters. All characters were likeable and I really appreciate that the story wasn't moved forward based on miscommunication

Moving but with enough light relieve

Loved this romance, the believable back stories, the slow falling in love.Against the backdrop of a long hot summer spent in wild countryside,on the river and pond.
Straight woman with son,meets lesbian, both overcoming great loss.
Didn’t want it to end, as I really liked the two main characters, healing emotional wounds, finding each other.
It’s also about overcoming grief and loss. The other main character is a nine year old boy, son of one, who plays a pivotal role in the story.
It’s all quite moving, and fun and a slow burn, you’ll enjoy if you like a gentle , character driven love story.
Very well read by Abbi Craden, best lesfic narrator, imho.
