Synopsis

It was a wonderful summer, a great memory, the kind of love everybody ought to have. It changed my life -- or almost did -- and I think about it more than I should, but that was a long time ago.

In the summer of 1955, Madison Lee "Bobo" Murphy was a waiter at the Catskills' Pine hill inn, where the eccentric Avrum Feldman became his unlikely friend. A rural Southerner on his exciting first journey north, Bobo learned from Avrum that each life is marked by one grand, undeniable moment of change that never stops mattering. It came for Bobo in his first meeting with Amy Lourie, the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. But for a wealthy Jewish girl and a Georgia farm boy, the summer had to end, leaving Bobo to learn another painful lesson.

Now thirty-eight years later, Avrum's death beckons Bobo to the Catskills once more. When Amy unexpectedly appears, they discover that two lifetimes and a thousand Catskills sunsets stand between who they were and who they have become -- until mysteriously, miraculously, Bobo hears the dreams of his youth, of the young man who went forth and became part of a love larger than himself....

Book Club Book - regional (Southern, Georgia). Plus an older lady in our club sighed, "I want to read a love story!" in the cutest Southern drawl you've ever heard. Who could say no to that? Review: It was great if you're really into romance novels and/or the Hallmark channel. It was kind of both of......more

Goodreads review by Rori on February 15, 2013

I shudder every time I think about this book. I read it right before the termination of my first long-term relationship. The story is about a man who married a woman but can't stop thinking about a different woman he met when he was young. The feeling that you're not with the right person and there'......more

Goodreads review by Laura on July 19, 2008

This is a beautifully written story! It would be one that would float on air were it read aloud. It is about a girl and a boy who met during the summer of 1955. She was a guest at an Inn in the Catskills and he worked at the Inn. The love that grew between them that summer was stronger and longer la......more
