Across Seven Summers
By @john1208
June Ellis carries the echoes of a lost love, a decade-old heartbreak etched into the very soul of Camp Blue Heron. For seven blissful summers, she shared bonfires, canoe races, and star-drenched docks with the boy who stole her heart, until he vanished without a trace. Now, June returns as the camp’s new owner, a woman fiercely protective of her young charges and armed with a preternatural gift for storytelling, capable of weaving connections and drawing anyone out of their shell. Her mission: to save the nostalgic Adirondack retreat from financial ruin. But her past collides with her present when she discovers her vanished sweetheart is the town's reclusive carpenter, haunted by a limp, a young daughter, and a secret that shattered their shared future. June, warm and wry, grapples with the lingering questions locked away like old letters, determined to uncover the truth, save her beloved camp, and confront the bittersweet possibility of a second chance, even as hope and grief war within her.
