It Happened One Summer
As her parents work through their
marital problems, 13-year-old Kati Newman is sent to live for the
summer with her godparents, a couple she has never known.
This unique coming-of-age story
tests the bonds of relationships as it follows a young girl learning
life’s lessons.
An unhappy Kati arrives on the
doorstep of her godfather, Alfred Bean, a veterinarian, and his wife
Rachel, who live in Cove Lake, Alabama. On her very first day, she
helps Alfred with an operation on a dog giving birth. From then on,
Kati struggles through numerous adventures until she finds her own
self-acceptance, happiness, and even romance.
Her summer becomes interesting when
she meets a half-Comanche pilot who
enlists her help in renovating a World War II-era bi-plane. Then
Kati finds herself falling in love with someone she believes is “the
perfect guy.”
As Kati
develops her love for flying, her life begins to soar, just as
Growing Season also
takes wing.
"Lacey is a truly gifted storyteller.
Growing Season is a fast-paced thriller."
