In The Summer of Lost and Found, Mary Alice Monroe once again delves into the complexities of family relationships with this tender and compassionate novel following the Rutledge family as they face a summer of upheaval and change with perseverance, unity, and a dose of humor, discovering unexpected joys and lessons that will endure long past the season.
Linnea Rutledge faces another layoff, this time from the aquarium she adores bringing her and her family's finances, emotions, and health teetering at the brink. To complicate matters, her new love interest, Gordon, struggles to return to the Isle of Palms from England. Meanwhile, her old flame, John, turns up from California and is quarantining next door. When Gordon at last reaches the island, Linnea wonders—is it possible to love two men at the same time? As the weeks turn to months, and another sea turtle season comes to a close, Linnea learns there are more meaningful lessons learned during this summer than opportunities lost, that summer is a time of wonder, and that the exotic lives in our own back yards.
