In a Paris art gallery, physician Dr. Michael Pearce is forced to confront his past when he views a sculpture by the artist Katherine Morgan.

The vivid bronze artwork evokes memories of a summer many years ago, when Michael and Katherine-Kit-first met as teenagers by a lake in New Hampshire. He was a small town boy who skied, played guitar, and was destined to run his father's hardware store; she was the restless, troubled daughter of a wealthy New York family.

Set amidst the mountains and farmlands, small country towns and elegant summer homes of rural New England, All the Flowers of the Mountain is the story of a pivotal summer for Michael and Kit. Michael's ambitions are ignited by this young woman and he grows determined that their future will be together. But Kit dreams of becoming an artist and her struggle with a secret from the past leads her to a deadly showdown and choices that will break Michael's heart.

Holbrook captures the dark complexities of family secrets and the painful choices when the need to set one's own course in the world opposes the demands of the heart. Perfect for fans of Delia Owens and Nicholas Sparks, All the Flowers of the Mountain is a haunting exploration of trauma and the abuse of privilege, of desire and the enduring power of love.
