Look for Robyn’s new book, The Best of Us, a story about family, second chances and choosing to live your best life–order your copy today! Mothers and daughters, sisters and cousins, they lived for summers at the lake house until a tragic accident changed everything. The Summer That Made Us is an unforgettable story about a family learning to accept the past, to forgive and to love each other … each other again.
That was then…
For the Hempsteads, two sisters who married two brothers and had three daughters each, summers were idyllic. The women would escape the city the moment school was out to gather at the family house on Lake Waseka. The lake was a magical place, a haven where they were happy and carefree. All of their problems drifted away as the days passed in sun-dappled contentment. Until the summer that changed everything.
This is now…
After an accidental drowning turned the lake house into a site of tragedy and grief, it was closed up. For good. Torn apart, none of the Hempstead women speak of what happened that summer, and relationships between them are uneasy at best to hurtful at worst. But in the face of new challenges, one woman is determined to draw her family together again, and the only way that can happen is to return to the lake and face the truth.
Robyn Carr has crafted a beautifully woven story about the complexities of family dynamics and the value of strong female relationships.

Characters are realistic and likable.
Great inspiring story of a family with issues, their history, coming home, and healing.
The characters.
I think Robyn Carr has a way of bringing characters to life. I LOVED this book.
I tend to get attached to the people she’s writing about and can’t wait till her next book comes out. She finishes her stories too so never finishes leaving you to buy the next book in order to find out what happened. Very fair.
Get this book and begin your adventure. Buy her virgin river or thunder point series and you’ll cry when the series is done cause you Love the people she writes about That much!

This book felt like it was rushed together. Not a complete book. Very disappointed.
Not as good as usual by Carr
If it has Robyn Carr’s name on it, I will read it and know that I am going to love it.
Wonderful story about real family members. You got to know everyone and made you think- at least my family didn’t do that! Hated to get to the end of the story.
