The Myth of Perpetual Summer by Susan Crandall

5.0

“Words are the weapons of great men, so we should always choose them carefully.”

“Regrets are the monsters under the bed.”

“When obstacles keep landing in your way, it’s God telling you you’re on the wrong road.”

“I will move through the world according to my judgment alone. I will not form myself to fit someone else’s mold.”

So many great life lessons in this beautiful story about a broken family and how it affects four children born into a maze of mental illness, Southern drama, and a selfish mother. You will fall in love with Grandma and want to unveil the secrets of her past and traditions. Tallulah, the protagonist, wins your heart and you root for her to find her way through the maze. Read this! It’s a great story that flashes back between the sixties and seventies in a rural Southern town that loved gossip and picking on the broken family in town.
