This was a great book! It's about a family trying to overcome tragedy. Sam and Mena are a happily married couple with twins. Every summer they traveled from California to Vermont to spend the summer where Sam grew up. As the children reach their teens it becomes too hard to find the time to go to the cabin and so for five years they have gone. This summer they are again back in Vermont trying to keep what is left of their family together. Their daughter, Franny, is dead and her twin, Finn, is spiraling into his own place of sorrow. We don't find out until the end what happened to Franny.
In a parallel story we have Dale, a young woman who becomes obsessed with Sam and the novels that he has written. As a senior thesis she has decided to write a biography about Sam and will stop at nothing to get that done!
Great characters and a plot-line that kept me reading straight through.
