Georgia, a magical place where what is lost may just be found, and Kate, a recent widow, who has just awakened from a deep, mournful "sleep" is looking to find something there. She travels to her Aunt Eby's cabin resort, Lost Lake, with her eccentric and knowing eight-year-old daughter and rediscovers the most joyful summer of her life including Wes, her first love. But can she save the things she once lost from disappearing forever.
Allen's novels hold you captive with the first page. Her characters breath complexity and truth. The magic she weaves caresses the soul, edging you to belief. Kate's story touched the predictable, but Eby's pulled and teased and kept me guessing at the mysteries of her life.
Lovely, lovely read!
