Synopsis
Persephone Fraser hasn't been back to Barry's Bay in over a decade. Now a Toronto magazine editor, Percy is pulled home to the small Ontario lake town by a phone call she never expected, and back into the orbit of Sam Florek, the boy who once knew her better than anyone. Over six teenage summers spent swimming in Kamaniskeg Lake and working in the Florek family's tavern, Percy and Sam grew from inseparable friends into something deeper, until a single choice tore them apart. Told across those six past summers and one present-day weekend, the novel traces how first love forms us and how the decisions we make at seventeen can echo for years. It is a nostalgic, emotionally charged story about the people and places that mark us permanently.
