The Summer Girl
eBook
( Aug. 20, 2018)
It is the summer of 1976, and as the United States celebrates its 200th birthday, Sonia Brooks has nothing to smile about. Her best friend just moved away, her sister is too busy with work and boys to bother, and William Pendergast - the farm kid who reeks of cow manure - simply won't leave her alone. But when arson destroys a crumbling resort in her hometown, Sonia teams up with Ruthie Rosenthal, a spunky Jewish girl from Brooklyn, and together they find themselves caught in a firestorm of old suspicions and new perils.
The Summer Girl tackles the subject of anti-Semitism in a delicate manner. While many similar books concentrate on World War II and the Holocaust, this story offers the reader a different perspective. The Summer Girl demonstrates how discrimination can fester within a community, and yet, with the help of two determined girls, truth is revealed.
