Legacy of a Lost Summer
Legacy of a Lost Summer is a novel about love and a friendship between two middle-aged women who have been friends since childhood.
The story begins in 2019, when Grace, who suffered from alopecia as a teenager, faces some big decisions in her life. Her memories of the summer of 1981 are scant, particularly those involving her first boyfriend, Christian Ross. Her family and friends remain silent, refusing to talk about what happened that year, fearing it may damage her health.
Having decided to undertake a course of weight-loss hypnotherapy with her friend’s husband, who is a clinical hypnotherapist, Grace has a sudden, unexpected flashback. Is it an actual memory of the summer of 1981 or is it just fantasy?
When her life takes an unexpected sinister turn, Grace senses she is in danger, but through a few regained memories she now knows she can trust no one, not even her own mother.
Her future, and that of those closest to her, is at stake and everything depends on Grace recovering her lost memories and finding out what really happened to her as a fifteen year-old in 1981.
A race against time is on …
