Summer Solstice

Harper Donahue has Charleston, South Carolina in her rearview mirror as she heads to a small, pristine lake in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania. Eager to leave scandal and a doomed marriage behind, Harper brings along her charming Aunt Olive to take ownership of a lakeside cottage left to her by her biological father, Warren Walker, a man she never knew.

Anticipation for Summer Solstice, the pivotal day of the summer season, is in full swing when Harper arrives, and ever-lengthening days help reveal family secrets, new friendships, painful betrayals, and more than a few blossoming romances.

Will Conneaut Lake be a solution, a chance to start fresh in a new location for Harper? Will the cottage be the refuge she so desperately needs? Will Spencer, the brother she has never met, welcome her or reject her?

With so much uncertainty surrounding Harper and Conneaut Lake, the one thing everyone can rely on is pickleball- a sport woven into the fabric of the town and the daily interaction of the beloved cast of characters.
