Meet Me at the Lake

Mehr zum Buch

A random connection sends two strangers on a daylong adventure that changes their lives forever. Fern Brookbanks has spent too much time thinking about Will Baxter, an idealistic artist she met during a chance encounter in her early twenties. Their whirlwind day in Toronto led to a pact to reunite one year later, but when Fern showed up, Will didn't. Now at thirty-two, Fern's life is far from her dreams; she's back home running her mother's disheveled Muskoka lakeside resort, alongside her ex-boyfriend as the manager. Feeling lost, she desperately needs a plan. Unexpectedly, Will returns nine years late, offering help with a suitcase in tow. Though he seems different from the young man she once knew, he may be the only one who understands her struggles. Yet, Fern grapples with trust, sensing that Will is hiding something. As she contemplates their past and the promise he broke, she recalls how he once rescued her. Now, she must decide if she can return the favor and help him in his time of need.
