Synopsis

"Emotions leap off the page in this deeply personal book. … Expertly written."—Library Journal The best fiction simply tells the truth. But the truth is never simple. When novelist Kendra Brennan moves into her grandfather's old cabin on Hidden Lake, she has a problem and a plan. The problem? An inflammatory letter from A Very Disappointed Reader. The plan? To confront Tyler, her childhood best friend's brother—and the man who inspired the antagonist in her first book. If she can prove that she told the truth about what happened during those long-ago summers, perhaps she can put the letter's claims to rest and meet the swiftly approaching deadline for her next book. But what she discovers as she delves into the murky past is not what she expected. While facing Tyler isn't easy, facing the consequences of her failed friendship with his sister, Cami, may be the hardest thing she's ever had to do. Plumb the depths of the human heart with this emotional exploration of how a friendship dies, how we can face the unforgivable, and how even those who have been hurt can learn to love with abandon.

Goodreads review by Jennifer

Oh my heavens! I thought this was so good. A beautiful descriptively childhood told with warm sunny days spent at the lake. But under all that was broken, fragile people. A million mistakes and a million blessings. This reminded me that no matter the pain and the scars, life still goes on. And we ha......more

Goodreads review by Susie

I don't often assign star ratings to books, but this one deserves all 5 (and probably more). This book is elegantly written, deeply emotional, and (in my opinion) Bartels' best work so far. I highly recommend it!......more
