ABC Reading - B - David Baldacci - One Summer

A - Mitch Albom - For One More Day 
B - David Baldacci - One Summer


From #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci comes a moving family drama about learning to love again after heartbreak and loss.

ONE SUMMER

It's almost Christmas, but there is no joy in the house of terminally ill Jack and his family. With only a short time left to live, he spends his last days preparing to say goodbye to his devoted wife, Lizzie, and their three children. Then, unthinkably, tragedy strikes again: Lizzie is killed in a car accident. With no one able to care for them, the children are separated from each other and sent to live with family members around the country. Just when all seems lost, Jack begins to recover in a miraculous turn of events. He rises from what should have been his deathbed, determined to bring his fractured family back together. Struggling to rebuild their lives after Lizzie's death, he reunites everyone at Lizzie's childhood home on the oceanfront in South Carolina. And there, over one unforgettable summer, Jack will begin to learn to love again, and he and his children will learn how to become a family once more.


My Review:  I loved this book. From the moment I picked it up from the library Friday night till now Monday I couldn't put the book down. I think this has been the fastest I have ever read a book because I'm a very slow reader.  There is a surprise in the beginning and, of course, there are some unbelievable things that happen but it's a book.  Great for a summer read.

Stars: 5
