The Beauty of Summer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997589801)

How far would you go to win back the love God never meant for you to keep?

From the glittering boardrooms of Richmond to the shadowed memories of her childhood in Brazil, Summer has built a life that looks perfect on the outside. She's stunning, successful, and deeply admired - a rising executive at a thriving video production firm. Her boyfriend, a handsome and charismatic PR professional, wants nothing more than to make her his wife.

But Summer can't bring herself to say yes. Haunted by the violence she witnessed in her parents' marriage, she's convinced that love - real, lasting love - always ends in pain. When her hesitation drives him into the arms of her scandalous co-worker, Summer's world begins to crumble.

Desperate to reclaim what she's lost, she makes one reckless choice after another, spiraling toward heartbreak and humiliation. Then, a shattering near-death experience changes everything. Forced to face her past, her pride, and her fears, Summer begins an emotional journey of faith and redemption.

Guided by the steadfast love of her mother and an unexpected friendship with a humble security guard, she learns that the life God plans for her is far greater - and more beautiful - than the one she tried to control.

Tender, redemptive, and deeply moving, The Beauty of Summer is a faith-based romance about surrendering heartbreak, rediscovering hope, and finding true love where you least expect it.
