Black Bear Lake

De: Leslie Liautaud

Narrado por: Ryan Haugen

Adam Craig still has nightmares about the last summer he spent on the shores of northern Wisconsin's black bear lake.

The Chicago stock trader thinks he has it under control, until fallout from an explosive August in 1983 threatens his marriage. So, Adam returns to remember that month-long family reunion where he was busy wrestling with developing adolescence, a parent's failing health, and watching his cousin Dannie's desperate cries for help. At 14, Adam's fear and anger were constantly threatening to pull him under while the current running through his family flowed, inevitably, toward tragedy.

It was too much to bear back then. But will reliving those painful memories hurt or help Adam as his adult life teeters on the edge of collapse?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Liautaud delivers a heart-wrenching coming-of-age tale in this wise and accomplished psychological novel." (Publishers Weekly)

A very realistic coming of age story

This was a fairly enjoyable listen. I mostly read romance book, but this was a nice change of pace. The characters felt very real to me, and the emotions that the main character felt were very relatable in my opinion. Overall, a good story about tragedy & the process one takes to start healing

Loved it !!

Outstanding story, really gives you a sense of actually being at a Northwoods lake, surrounded by family, and all of the chaos that comes with a large extended family! Very enjoyable listen, and characters to love and hate, and to want to know more about, and see what happens next.

I couldn’t put it down!

Memories from the past may have a greater affect on today’s happiness then we know. This heartfelt story of family, frustration, and feelings is a quick read, mainly because it’s hard to put down. As the story unwrapped, it unveil a surprising explanation. I read the paperback first, then listened to the audiobook - great narration.
