“... another stellar novel.”
“... even more compelling than EMMALEE.”
“... a great success.”
“... a delightful read.”
“... after falling in love with THE EMMALEE AFFAIRS, this was a must read!”

It's 1951, and Jonathan McKendry's best friend and small-town lawyer, George Hansen, has found himself on the wrong end of bad situations in the past, but never one so unpopular as when he steps up to defend a local Native American man accused of the alleged sexual assault of the daughter of one of the town's most prominent summer families. Jonathan, now married to Dr. Emily Compton McKendry, desperately tries to help his friend save the life of an innocent man as well as save his wife and a young family who are threatened by an abusive and murderous father who Emily is trying to help.

In the parallel present-day story, George Hansen looks down from his passing into the next world to see the events that develop in the search for his killer, as well as the challenges faced by the Clark family as Sally Thomason Clark's husband Alex tries to save his business empire and his marriage from a ruthless partner, and daughter Megan lets her infatuation for a young local boy alienate the summer families who she thought were her friends.

The Summer Town continues the compelling love stories and challenges of Jonathan and Emily, and Alex and Sally in the idyllic resort town of Charlevoix, Michigan.
