Echoes of Summertime

By Kimberly Diede

What if the past you have been avoiding holds more than one truth?

Genna Bennett Rowan never imagined she would return to the shores of Silvermist Lake.

The tragedy that shattered her youth kept her away for decades, until a long-overdue family reunion drew her back last summer. Now, with a little more courage than before, Genna returns again, hoping for a peaceful pause before beginning her next chapter. One that could finally give her and her two grown children the space to build independent lives.

But summers on Silvermist never stay quiet for long.

Evening breezes stir memories of laughter and heartbreak, while sunlit mornings bring an uncomfortable clarity. When buried truths surface, Genna must confront a question she has spent years avoiding.

Can she accept that more than one version of the past may be true, and find a way to forgive not only others, but herself?

Making peace with the echoes of that dark night might be the only path Genna can take to move toward the life she craves.

Echoes of Summertime is the first novel in the Seasons on Silvermist Lake series. It is an emotional women's fiction story of family, legacy, and the quiet strength to begin again.
