Nathan Robert's unforgettable novel tells the story of a family whose lives are forever changed by a tragedy. The parents, Ray and Abby, are newlyweds on the cusp of their first summer together when their only child, Sarah, is killed in a car accident. Ray is unable to cope with his grief and, in the depths of his sadness, begins to lose touch with the world around him. Abby, on the other hand, is determined to keep her family together and finds strength in her faith. As the summer progresses, the siblings start to reconnect and explore their memories of Sarah. The innocence and joy of their past is contrasted with the darkness of their present, and the family eventually comes to terms with their loss. Long after Summer is a profoundly moving story of love, loss, and grief that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.; 8vo; 146 pages; $6.00.
