Summary
Adam Craig still has nightmares about the last summer he spent on the shores of northern Wisconsin's black bear lake.
The Chicago stock trader thinks he has it under control, until fallout from an explosive August in 1983 threatens his marriage. So, Adam returns to remember that month-long family reunion where he was busy wrestling with developing adolescence, a parent's failing health, and watching his cousin Dannie's desperate cries for help. At 14, Adam's fear and anger were constantly threatening to pull him under while the current running through his family flowed, inevitably, toward tragedy.
It was too much to bear back then. But will reliving those painful memories hurt or help Adam as his adult life teeters on the edge of collapse?
Critic reviews
