Book review : summer’s child from Diane chamberlain

I gave 5/5

During their teenage hood , Daria , her sister Chloé , her cousin , and the neighbors Rory , Linda , Cindy and others used to spend their summer holidays in Kill Devil Hills near the seaside. One day, after a huge storm Daria,11 years old, found a newborn on the sea side on the morning. She brought her back home . Her parents took great care of her and adopted her as Shelly . Twenty two years letter, Shelly, Daria and Chloé are still living at shanky house. Shelly who is suffering from seizures is a housekeeper at the local church ; Daria is a carpenter and Chloé is a teacher and a nun . Shelly is morally very fragile and Daria overprotects her. Rory who works for the television (true life stories program) in California decides to go back to Kill Devil Hills for the summer with his son Jack .He is recently divorced .He has received a letter from Shelly asking him to find her parents again. When Daria and Chloé knows why he is back they are very reluctant to see him again . Grace, on her side, lives with her husband Eddie and has seen that Rory is back to found the parents of Shelly, and, Grace will try to enter in Shelly ‘s life . But why ? Will Rory will succeed in finding the truth about this morning where this child has been left on the beach ? Will this secret will be discovered? Will Shelly will find out who are her parents without being hurt ? Why grace truly wants to intrude herself in Shelly’s life ? I really enjoyed seing the story going by and how Rory is investigating around the cul de sac where they all used to live . I also loved to see how Rory will take care of not hurting Shelly with his results and will promise Daria not to tell her if it will be hurtful The book was easy and nice to read . I truly love the ending of the story quite unespected, but a lovely ending . The character I enjoy the most was Shelly so fragile so openhearted to everyone . She tries to be kind with everyone and she knows everyone where she lived . She also meet the summer holidays residents . My second favorite character Is Daria : she has taken care of Shelly since she found her and she lives with the necessity of Shelly life ; Shelly can’t be living away from where she has been found so Daria sacrified her love life to stay with her sister ..
