Tender and enchanting --Southern Seasons

An endearing tale of surprising second chances- Booklist (starred review)

The first time Eby Pim saw Lost Lake, it was on a picture postcardJust an old photo and a few words on a small square of heavy stock, but when she saw it, she knew she was seeing her future
That was half a life agoNow Lost Lake is about to slip into Eby's pastHer husband, George, is long passedMost of her demanding extended family are goneAll that's left is a once-charming collection of lakeside cabins succumbing to the Southern Georgia heat and damp, and an assortment of faithful misfits drawn back to Lost Lake year after year by their own unspoken dreams and desiresIt's not quite enough to keep Eby from calling this her final summer at the lake, and relinquishing Lost Lake to a developer with cash in hand
Until one last chance at family knocks on her door
Lost Lake is where Kate Pheris spent her last best summer at the age of twelve, before she learned of loneliness and heartbreak and lossNow she's all too familiar with those things, but she knows about hope, too, thanks to her resilient daughter, Devin, and her own willingness to start moving forwardPerhaps at Lost Lake her little girl can cling to her own childhood for just a little longerand maybe Kate herself can rediscover something that slipped through her fingers so long ago
One after another, people find their way to Lost Lake, looking for something that they weren't sure they needed in the first place: love, closure, a second chance, peace, a mystery solved, a heart mendedCan they find what they need before it's too late?
At once atmospheric and enchanting, Lost Lake shows Sarah Addison Allen at her finest, illuminating the secret longings and the everyday magic that wait to be discovered in the unlikeliest of places
Lost Lake is a love note to second chances, hopeful and entrancing, and I couldn't put it down--Joshilyn Jackson
