Story
Claire Summers is a determined, independent single mother who is doing her best to make lemonade out of the lemons life has handed her. Keith Watson is a results-oriented workaholic with no time for a social life. As the executive assistant to a local philanthropic businessman, he's used to fielding requests for donations. But when a letter from Claire's 11-year-old daughter reaches his desk, everything changes. The girl isn't asking for money, but for help finding the long-lost son of an elderly neighbor.

Sisters Amanda Foster and Erin Turner have little in common except the childhood bedroom they once shared and the certainty each feels that her way of life is best. Amanda follows the rules - at the school where she works; in her community; and as a picture-perfect daughter, wife, and mother-to-be. Erin follows her heart - in love and otherwise - living a bohemian lifestyle on a shoestring budget and honoring her late father’s memory with a passion for music and her fledgling bath-products business.

Publisher's Summary
Karen and Val are family - yet they're anything but close. Karen has carried the burden of responsibility for her aging mother ever since her gorgeous sister left town years ago to pursue a career in theater. But Val had darker reasons for leaving town - as well as a secret to keep - and coming home has never been an option...until their mother suffers a stroke.
Reunited in their hometown, Karen and Val must grapple with their past mistakes, their relationship with each other, and their issues with a mother who is far from ideal. When a physical therapist raising his daughter alone and a handsome but hurting musician enter the picture, the summer takes on a whole new dimension. As their lives intersect and entwine, can each learn how to forgive, how to let go, and how to move on? And strengthened by the healing power of faith, might they also find the courage to love?

Warning: Graphic Pro Life
I enjoyed much about this book, but found the Pro-Life message to be overly heavy handed. I greatly appreciated the message of forgiveness and not being trapped by mistakes of the past. I also appreciated the message of emerging from tragedy and loss to find new meaning and purpose in life. As with most romances, extremely difficult circumstances were resolved quickly and neatly. As a trained therapist, I know this isn’t realistic. But suspending disbelief is a pre-requisite for romances, right?!

Another excellent book by Irene Hannon
Would you listen to That Certain Summer again? Why?
Yes, the story flowed well between the two main characters and their potential love interests. Although there was romance, I enjoyed the relationship between the sisters more than courtships.
What was one of the most memorable moments of That Certain Summer?
The most memorable moment was the mother's letter to her unborn child that Val read at the rehearsal. Abortion is a key issue that Irene Hannon deals with in a sensitive manner.
Which scene was your favorite?
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book. The scene when Val met with the minister and finally began to forgave herself was especially touching.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Preachy
This book should be under Christian fiction. It is very preachy. Not my genre, buyer beware, you may not be getting what you thought. However if you do like Christian fiction then this is for you. She is a good writer and the narrator did a nice job.
