"Suddenly One Summer transported me to a beautiful place and drew me into a story of family secrets, passion, betrayal and redemption. Barbara Freethy writes with touching honesty and the skill of a writer at the top of her game." Susan Wiggs

A large cast of townspeople adds to this intriguing, suspenseful romance, which is the first of Freethy's "Angel's Bay" novels. Freethy has a gift for creating complex, appealing characters and emotionally involving, often suspenseful, sometimes magical stories."  Library Journal
