A former beauty queen faces the secrets of her past for herself and the sake of her family s future in a heartfelt novel about fate, choices, and second chances.Everything seemed possible in the summer of 1951. Back then Betty Stern was an eighteen-year-old knockout working at her grandparents lakeside resort. The Catskills of the Midwest was the perfect place for Betty to prepare for bigger things. She d head to college in New York City. Her career as a fashion editor would flourish. But first, she d enjoy a wondrous last summer at the beach falling deeply in love with an irresistible college boy and competing in the annual Miss South Haven pageant. On the precipice of a well-planned life, Betty s future was limitless.Decades later, the choices of that long-ago season still reverberate for Betty, now known as Boop. Especially when her granddaughter comes to her with a dilemma that echoes Boop s memories of first love, broken hearts, and faraway dreams. It s time to finally face the past for the sake of her family and her own happiness. Maybe in reconciling the life she once imagined with the life she s lived, Boop will discover it s never too late for a second chance.
Good spin on an old story. Moves along at a good pace thanks to well-rounded characters. I did like the way the story tied past and present, but was a little bit disappointed that Boop didn't have the courage to tell Abe the whole truth. Perhaps sometimes we are ruled by family and heritage rather than personal desire.Her best yet I have read and enjoyed all of Amy Sue Nathan's previous novels. But not this one. I LOVED this one! Characters who are 'real' and a setting that is so authentic it's another character. The character arc forced young Betty to cope with lost love/life changes (something we can all relate to). The payoff was seeing the older Betty (Boop) had built a life on those changes.I think Ms. Nathan will have to work hard with her next book to top all the 'feels' this book delivers. But I have faith she is up to the challenge.Drivel Such silly, stereotyped characters that it is impossible to care about them or their lives.
