The Lake House

When her favourite Aunt is diagnosed with cancer Julie Brown puts her studies on hold, and returns to the quaint, historic town of Covington, Georgia to live at the Lake House.

Julie always wanted to make something of her life. She's ambitious and high achieving. Yet at every step along the way, she's been knocked down. The latest blow leaves her reeling, so she opts to take a sabbatical from her PhD studies and instead focus on helping Aunt Rita beat cancer.

At the hospital she runs into a man she hasn't seen since high school. He was a troubled kid and lived with them briefly when her mother tried to help him. She's always seen him as a brother. But they lost touch and now he's all grown up and has become a doctor. He's achieved the kind of success she's always dreamed of and she can't help feeling like a total failure when he's around. Especially when it becomes apparent that while he's handsome, kind and patient, she's rapidly transforming into a hot mess.

Struggling to deal with her vengeful cousin at the Honeysuckle Cafe, Rita searches through memorabilia that had been locked away in the lake house by her mother, in the hopes it might connect the two of them. She discovers an old stack of letters written to her mother and father. What she reads, could threatens everything she thought she knew about the past and her already fragile relationship with her cousin.

An inspirational and touching story of family, friendship and community, The Lake House is a small-town women's fiction read you won't soon forget.
