The Summer of Lost and FoundThe Summer of Lost and Found

The coming of Spring usually means renewal, but for Linnea Rutledge, Spring 2020 threatens stagnation. Linnea faces another layoff, this time from the aquarium she adores. For her and her family, finances, emotions, and health teeter at the brink. To complicate matters, her new love interest, Gordon, struggles to return from England. Meanwhile, her old flame, John, turns up and is quarantining next door. She tries to ignore him, but when he sends her plaintive notes, old sparks ignite. When Gordon at last reaches the island, Linnea wonders: is it possible to love two men at the same time? Love in the time of the coronavirus proves challenging, at times humorous, and ever changing. Relationships are redefined, friendships made and broken, and marriages tested. As the weeks turn to months, Linnea learns there are more meaningful lessons learned during this summer than opportunities lost, that summer is a time of wonder, and that the exotic lives in her own back yard.
