Opis

It is the summer of 1994. The sun shines down on the residents of Port McGuire, a tightly knit fishing village on a barrier island off the south Texas coast, the residents unaware that their innocence will be forever lost during this "summer from hell." The grandchildren of the founding family, the Morgan-McGuires, bear the brunt of the chaotic summer; the greatest of the tragedies and changes that befall the island. Old wounds fester when the family comes together. Sarah Elizabeth Campion, steady as a rock until she is betrayed; Chloe Dawson, travel writer turned family lush; Sunny Day Child, film star who has much for which to atone; Star Child, who discovers she is dating a madman; Pace McDaniel, who daily curses her gift of clairvoyance for she sees death; Sam Morgan-McGuire and his wife, Shaela, who are facing a marital rite of passage; Suzanne Love, newcomer to the island who finds herself unwittingly drawn into the horror. And Molly Morgan-McGuire, the family matriarch, who confesses, mere hours before her death, a secret she has held deep inside for nigh unto eighty years. A secret that threatens to tear apart an already fractured family. Death, change, and a renewal of love work their forces upon the sun-drenched island, and while the entire village is on edge, it is the Morgan-McGuire family who must come together in a final stand against the terror plaguing their beloved island community.
