Description

Unfolding across four decades in the lives of two families and the summer visitors to a New England coastal town, SUMMER PEOPLE examines intersecting lives bound by buried secrets, loss, and unexpected moments of grace.

At the heart of the narrative are Catharine Conor and Tom Osborne, who meet on Harvard's library steps and fall deeply in love. Tom, struggling with bipolar disorder, is expelled after an impulsive act of arson. Pregnant Catharine follows him to London, where personal challenges transform them: Tom loses his ability to write, while Catharine discovers her own literary voice after a devastating miscarriage.

They eventually settle in Belle Harbor, purchasing an old house and raising a son, Toby. A batch of forgotten letters reveals a poignant connection to the house's previous owner, whose own son died tragically. The contrasting landscapes of Belle Harbor-a vacationer's paradise-and its neighboring town New Vernon, a struggling fishing community, form a rich backdrop to their lives.

Toby grows up haunted by his father's possible suicide, later saving a New Vernon fisherman's life. Catharine experiences a moment of quiet rebellion at a Dublin conference. Other narratives emerge-a reckless teenage girl destroys another's life, an unexpected encounter on a beach finds its meaning years later, a newlywed bride receives a pivotal book of poetry.

With compassion and complexity, SUMMER PEOPLE explores love's resilience, the weight of generational trauma, and the unexpected ways human lives intersect and illuminate each other.
