A Summer for the Books

In this emotional dual-timeline novel, former best friends Jewel Stone and Shelby Andrews are drawn back together when Shelby wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the last twelve years, including her adopted daughter. Jewel, despite her own struggles with writer's block and a crumbling life, finds herself compelled to help Shelby reconnect with the past they've both avoided. As they navigate their complicated history and the secrets that have kept them apart, their tentative reunion is threatened when Shelby's daughter embarks on a quest to find her birth parents.
