From one of our most acclaimed writers comes this dramatic tale of a well-born Southern woman whose life is forever changed by the betrayal of her mother and by the man she loves
Growing up, the only place tomboy Thayer Wentworth felt at home was at her summer camp – Camp Sherwood Forest in the North Carolina Mountains. It was there that she came alive and where she met Nick Abrams, her first love…and first heartbreak.
Years later, Thayer marries Aengus, an Irish professor, and they move into her deceased grandmother’s house in Atlanta, only miles from Camp Edgewood on Burnt Mountain where her father died years ago in a car accident. There, Aengus and Thayer lead quiet and happy lives until Aengus is invited up to the camp to tell old Irish tales to the campers. As Aengus spends less time at home and becomes more distant, Thayer must confront dark secrets-about her mother, her first love, and, most devastating of all, her husband.

Summary
Overall I am a huge Anne Rivers Siddons fan. I have read everything she has written. This book did not disappoint me. Because I have read all of her books, I felt it was 4 star rating but if you have never read her, it might not be as enjoyable. I felt as if I was reading a book written by a friend.
Violence No violence but does contain one disturbing image related to child exploitation.
Language Although there were few crude words, the reader should know the king of all bad words does make an appearance.
Sexual No details but sex is implied.
