"If you want to escape to the coast of Maine, and want a little intrigue along the way, this book is for you!" --Steven Riley.Twenty-five year old Cam Preston tries to navigate the riptides of change cutting through the coastal town of Laurel, Maine. It should have been easy: Cam and his family would lay his grandmother to rest by releasing her ashes into the waters off of Gray Gull Beach. But the boat pivots at just the wrong moment and her remains are blown back onto the deck. Cam does not fail to see the symbolism. The four years he's spent working as a carpenter since graduating from college are considered "extended summer" by his parents. And his Boston-based girlfriend is auditioning more upwardly mobile prospects. When Cam takes a chance on a job turning a derelict bait shed on Laurel Harbor Pier into an upscale restaurant for a trust fund-fed artist and her bartender ex-boyfriend, he's propelled into a summer where even his best decisions seem to only stave off disaster.SUMMER TO FALL is a compelling story of transition and redemption.
