A Thousand Summers

Is it possible to reunite with people and places that we loved in previous lives?

As a child, Massey Roberts spends her summers in Seaside, Oregon where she and Mama rent a small cottage each year. Here, the salty warm air gives them an appetite, browns their skin to a healthy glow, and all but carries the fearful echoes of winters out to sea. For three months each year, mother and daughter live a fantasy life free and safe from Massey's abusive father.

Forty-three years later, Caroline Lang, wife of big attorney David Lang, lives in Chicago, Illinois. Struggling with her unfaithful husband and demanding, bitter father, she begins to have dreams of a small enchanting beach town on the Oregon Coast. Encouraged by her best friend, Caroline packs up her two daughters and sets out on an adventure in search of her paradise.
