About this listen
Early on the morning of her 11th birthday, on the beach beside her North Carolina home, Daria Cato receives an unbelievable gift from the sea: an abandoned newborn baby. When the infant's identity cannot be uncovered, she is adopted by Daria's loving family. Now, 20 years later, Shelly has grown into an unusual, ethereal young woman whom Daria continues to protect. But when Rory Taylor, a friend from Daria's childhood and now a television producer, returns at Shelly's request to do a story about the circumstances surrounding her birth, something precarious shifts in the small town of Kill Devil Hills.
The more questions Rory asks, the more unsettled the tiny community becomes, as closely guarded secrets and the sins of that long-ago summer begin to surface. Piece by piece, the mystery of summer's child is being exposed, a mystery that no one involved - not Shelly, Daria, not even Rory - is prepared to face.

Another great book by Diane Chamberlain
Really enjoyed this book. I've listened to a few of Diane Chamberlain's books now and they never disappoint. Didn't see the twist at the end happening!

Twists and Turns
Loved this story. Lots of different twists and turns along the way. It was a gripping story that kept me interested the whole way through. Narration was decent enough but found some pronunciation a bit off-putting, for example the word best pronounced bast. Maybe it's an accent thing and it didn't completely ruin the experience .... just a little niggle.

Syrup with added syrup
More tolerable than some romance novels I’ve tried but so ott in the swoon and emotion. So good if that’s your thing. It must be quite old with the outdated way of discussing neurodivergence
