Produktbeschreibung
An enchanting tale of star-crossed lovers and second chances. ¿ It's the last summer for the renowned Westwind Inn, which has been "making holiday wishes come true since 1882", according to its weathered signpost. But be careful what you wish for. Traumatized by a tragic canoeing accident a decade earlier and tormented by nightmares, Paige Latimer returns to Westwind in 1997 to come to terms with the past. Resort owner Simon Davenport was a childhood friend and her first love, but their passionate affair ended abruptly, leaving Paige bewildered and heartbroken. Being back at the lake where she spent the magical summers of her youth is healing. As she delves into Westwind's history for a documentary she's working on with Simon, they slide back into their old, easygoing friendship, still sharing the same talents and dreams. But eerie, unsettling incidents begin to reveal dangerous undercurrents. Nothing is quite as it seems at the idyllic lakeside resort. The enigmatic Pembrook sisters, who have vacationed at Westwind for over seventy years, hold the keys to its secrets. As Paige begins to unravel the sisters' complex relationship with the inn, she discovers something startling about her own family. Torn between the life she thought she would lead and the commitments she made, Paige must choose her path. But something more sinister is threatening her happiness. The past hasn't relinquished its stranglehold, and Paige realizes that the dying inn is haunted by more than mysteries and memories. Once Upon a Summer transports you to the beautiful, legendary lake district of Muskoka, Canada.
