I prepare to begin my dad this morning I wanted to let you know what I’m reading this week. The book is called One Summer is written by David Baldacci. My mother in law Sherry got the book for me from A Little Library in her neighborhood.
I’ve always wanted to read one of David Baldacci’s books. I can’t wait to dive into One Summer even though Summer is over her. Have you read One Summer or any of David Baldacci’s others books? If so which book and what did you think of the book and why? One Summer is a Hallmark movie.
The movie is showing on Hallmark. I watched the trailer for One Summer I realized David and I had seen the movie in the past and its one I’ve watched more than once making me want to read the book even more than I did before. If you haven’t seen the movie I hope you take the time to watch it.
About the book:
David Baldacci delivers a moving, family drama about learning to love again after terrible heartbreak and loss in this classic New York Times bestseller—soon to be a Hallmark original movie.
It’s almost Christmas, but there is no joy in the house of terminally ill Jack and his family. With only a short time left to live, he spends his last days preparing to say goodbye to his devoted wife, Lizzie, and their three children. Then, unthinkably, tragedy strikes again: Lizzie is killed in a car accident. With no one able to care for them, the children are separated from each other and sent to live with family members around the country.
Just when all seems lost, Jack begins to recover in a miraculous turn of events. He rises from what should have been his deathbed, determined to bring his fractured family back together. Struggling to rebuild their lives after Lizzie’s death, he reunites everyone at Lizzie’s childhood home on the oceanfront in South Carolina. And there, over one unforgettable summer, Jack will begin to learn to love again, and he and his children will learn how to become a family once more.
Meet the Author: David Baldacci
David Baldacci has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. (Much later, when David thanked her for being the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she’d given him the notebook to keep him quiet, “because every mom needs a break now and then.”)
David published his first novel, ABSOLUTE POWER, in 1996. The feature film adaptation followed, with Clint Eastwood as its director and star. In total, David has published 50 novels for adults; all have been national and international bestsellers and several have been adapted for film and television. His novels have been translated into over 45 languages and sold in more than 80 countries, with 150 million copies sold worldwide. David has also published seven novels for younger readers.
David is also the cofounder, along with his wife, of the Wish You Well Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting literacy programs across the United States.
Thank you,
