In the fall, in the Northeast and the Midwest, a period of mild clear weather known as Indian Summer usually follows the first frost. Often used metaphorically, Indian Summer commonly suggests a period of fulfillment or renewal after a time of hardship. The characters you will meet in these five stories are doing just that as they face life's challenges. In the title story, Alice struggles to find a new life's purpose after the death of her husband. A childhood boating accident reverberates decades later in Keeping Secrets. Moving Day is a poignant story of leaving a long-time family home for the very last time, saying goodbye to a lifetime of memories. A promising young pianist must come to terms with the limits of her talent while also dealing with a first love in Good Enough. Rounding out the collection is All in Good Time, in which Ellen struggles to save her marriage while her husband navigates the choppy waters of academia. Taken together, these stories offer the reader a reminder of the universal cycles of life, and that hope always lies just beyond each seasonal turning. These stories will continue to resonate and inspire long after Indian Summer is over.
