This book starts out with the bride and the groom on the story getting killed in a horrible accident within an hour of their wedding. Don’t worry, I am not giving away any of the plot…anyone who even takes a teeny tiny sneak peek at the cover knows that much of the story. This book is about what happens next. It is set in Maine and follows the lives of the bride and grooms’ families through the next four (I think it was four) summers. I think it did a pretty good job of depicting how families stumble through life after such a horrible tragedy. Some times a situation so awful brings people together and sometimes it tears them apart.
