Memory Lake,the forever friendships of summer

(Soon to be announced... Inspirational winner of the 2012 Next Generation Indie Book Awards)  

A Mother's Remembrance..
.

Summer Camp.  These two words have been known to inspire many things in the hearts of young girls and prospective campers- from fear, loneliness and anxiety, to joy, freedom, and lessons learned that will last a lifetime.  Relive those moments in this richly told memoir of the author's own transformative experiences at a summer camp on the shores of Lake Michigan near Sleeping Bear Dunes.

A Daughter's Journey...
Told in flashbacks as Nancy drives to a camp reunion with her own daughter and her two teenage friends, memories unfold, taking the reader on an unforgettable journey back to the idyllic setting of the camp.  In these humorous and at times harrowing adventures, Nancy realizes the power of female friendship can last a lifetime- in fact, it can change the form and direction of your entire life.  Anyone who ever attended summer camp will relate to this charming novel, and for those who have not, as you turn the last, heart-warming page, you'll feel as if you had.

Welcome back to Memory Lake.

The old camp at sunset... Yes, the seam is visible... and my techno friends could fix it.  But, you must read the book to know why it remains this way!  

Readers may be interested to learn Memory Lake's working title was;  'Sacrifices of Joy'.  In the novel's context, it means producing a smile when you least feel like it.  If you persist, despite inner pain or grief, joy will manifest.   Need some proof?  Keep scrolling.... 
 
                                    


August 2010, site of the old boy's camp.  Under a brilliant sky, as waves washed ashore, a gentle breeze blended the wedding vows of Nancy and David into the echos of a thirty year friendship.
