Seasons' End

Every summer for generations three families intertwined by history marriage and career have spent the season at their beach cottages on an island in Puget Sound. Today Martha Pete Petersen married to Tyler Strong is the lynchpin of the summer people. In childhood she was the tomboy every girl wanted to emulate and is now the mother everyone admires. Colin Ryan family friend and the islands veterinarian first met Pete years earlier in London when she visited his roommate Tyler. Hes loved her ever since. Born in Manhattans Hells Kitchen son of a bar owner hes always been dazzled by the sun-kissed lives of the summer people. But this summer currents strong as the tides roil: jealousies grow tempers flare passions clash. Then on the last day of the season a series of betrayals alters the combined histories of these families forever.
