The Summer I Dared A Novel

On a calm evening off the coast of Maine, a ferry hits a submerged object and sinks, leaving only three survivors: Julia Bechtel, Noah Prine, and Kim Brewster. In the wake of the tragedy, these three individuals are forever changed as they grapple with the guilt of surviving when so many others did not. Julia, a woman who has spent her life being exactly what others expected of her, finds that the near-death experience has awakened a deep need for honesty and change in her marriage and her life. As she grows closer to Noah, a quiet lobsterman, and attempts to help Kim, a troubled young woman, Julia must decide if she has the courage to walk away from her predictable past to embrace an uncertain but authentic future. The Summer I Dared is a powerful story of survival, the secrets that bind us, and the bravery required to start over.
