Allie Kirkland has never been one to take wild risks. But when she's offered a costuming assistant's job on a docudrama in the hills near Moses Lake, she jumps at the chance. She's always dreamed of following in her director-father's footsteps, and the reenactment of the legendary frontier settlement of Wildwood is a first step. The family expectations will have to wait. But in 1861, the real Wildwood held dangerous realities. Town founder Harland Delevan held helpless residents, including young Irish schoolteacher Bonnie Rose, in an iron grip.

Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view.

Enjoyable and Thought Provoking
Would you listen to A Month of Summer again? Why?
I may listen to this one again in a few months. The plot is tightly woven and the characters are realistic.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I suppose I'd never thought about what it must be like to be a stroke victim, as Hannah Beth is. This particular character made the whole experience of struggling for words, struggling to be understood and grasping for movement and improvement understandable. I don't think I'll ever forget it. Rebecca also is a sympathetic character - someone living with resentment and hurt who is forced to confront what she believes to be true and having to choose to either stay where she is emotionally or letting go of the past and learning to live life on other terms. There are so many other characters I could mention - Teddy, Claude, Mary - not enough space, though. You'll have to listen/read the book for yourself.

Wingate Tells From the Heart
Another thoroughly enjoyable story from Lisa Wingate. I love the experience of her stories told about people from the inside out. I love the experience of knowing her people will be better off in the end. This particular story is a tour of compassion, personalities, efforts at creating beauty in a confusing world, misunderstanding, understanding, and wisdom in "broken" minds. I loved Claude's story-pictures. Johanna Parker, the narrator is astoundingly remarkable.

Great story of real life
If you could sum up A Month of Summer in three words, what would they be?
Great real-life story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Month of Summer?
When the main character discovers her step brother is her biological brother.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the main character discovers her step brother is her biological brother, the book became real, becuase the main character reacted as a real person.
Any additional comments?
The novel begins slow for me and it has issues that are too real-life, I wanted to put it down. Then the characters became a part of my heart and I loved it.

Wonderful Story
If you could sum up A Month of Summer in three words, what would they be?
Wonderful Life Lesson
Who was your favorite character and why?
Teddy...we all need to be like Teddy. Open eyes, open mind, open heart. Fabulous character. I also loved Claude, he had the same spirit of Teddy just a bit more wisdom behind his eyes. Actually all characters were great.
Have you listened to any of Johanna Parker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I thought she did a wonderful job with voices, depicting characters, and helping us develop a relationship with all the characters. Great, great job Johanna Parker!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Hannah Beth leaned toward Rebecca and said "Love you" It brought tears to my eyes. Hannah Beth needed to say it and Rebecca needed to hear it.
Any additional comments?
The story was well written, and performed expertly. I just lost my mother in April 2017 and the feeling of losing family is very raw right now. My mom and dad are both gone, my dad lived in a skilled nursing facility for almost 7 years suffering from dementia. It was difficult to see him fade from us. My mom died unexpectedly 3 years after dad. She was my world! Thank you for this wonderful, well written book!
