About the book
Thirty years passed, and during that time, two families spent seven unforgettable summers together at a beach house in Destin, Florida. Laughter, love, and countless beachside memories filled their three months each year...until a mysterious disagreement caused them to drift apart for decades.
Now, the same house - renovated and twice its original size - brings the five adults back together, reigniting unexpected reunions among those who once shared summers as teenagers. Approaching their 40’s and 50’s, these sisters and friends decide to share the beach house for one last summer, hoping to relive the joy of their youthful days and form new memories.
The return to Destin stirs up emotions and sparks personal growth. Old crushes evolve into true love, childhood friendships deepen, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood is put to the test. However, the uncovering of diaries from the past jeopardizes everything once again. Confronting their history, these families must unite to safeguard what they’ve built...or risk losing love forever.
Will their enduring relationships, shared pasts, and newfound connections be enough to mend what was broken...or will old wounds tear them apart once more?
The Summer We Met captures the essence of bygone summers and the hope of redemption, all set against the stunning backdrop of Destin’s white sands.
