Description
David Baldacci delivers a moving, family drama about learning to love again after terrible heartbreak and loss in this classic New York Times bestseller—soon to be a Hallmark original movie.
It's almost Christmas, but there is no joy in the house of terminally ill Jack and his family. With only a short time left to live, he spends his last days preparing to say goodbye to his devoted wife, Lizzie, and their three children. Then, unthinkably, tragedy strikes again: Lizzie is killed in a car accident. With no one able to care for them, the children are separated from each other and sent to live with family members around the country.
Just when all seems lost, Jack begins to recover in a miraculous turn of events. He rises from what should have been his deathbed, determined to bring his fractured family back together. Struggling to rebuild their lives after Lizzie's death, he reunites everyone at Lizzie's childhood home on the oceanfront in South Carolina. And there, over one unforgettable summer, Jack will begin to learn to love again, and he and his children will learn how to become a family once more.

2By SolitextrousDisappointed in Baldachi's book One Summer. Although a departure from his others novels, I found this to be a bit soppy and highly predictable as to the eventual outcome of the characters depicted. I found myself "fast forwarding" the pages knowing what would occur at each turn. I am still an ardent fan of the author, but thought he missed the mark on this one.WOW!!
5By Happy girl from IL.This is one of the best books I have ever read and I have read many many books in my 64 years. Read it....Love it!!Loved it
5By 1angel465Best book I've read lately. Took me about a day or two to read it. I couldn't put it down!Who knew...
5By Artsmart50that Baldacci had a sensitive side. I have always enjoyed his novels but really hesitated to pick this one up as romance is not my first choice and normally stay away from them. Great "sitting on the beach" read.Inspirational
5By JoyceabradshawI have read over 300 books the last year and this is, by far, the most touching, inspirational , thrilling book I have ever read. David Baldacci will touch every heart , of every person , who reads this book. It is awesome.
