"Nothing short of astonishing. The best writers are brave writers,
and Harris has proven herself among those ranks." -Mateo
Askaripour, New York Times bestselling author of Black Buck A
compelling debut that glows with bittersweet heart and touching
emotion, deeply interrogating questions of family, redemption, and
unconditional love in the sweltering summer heat of Savannah, as
two people discover what it means to truly forgive. It's been eight
years since Sara Lancaster left her home in Savannah, Georgia.
Eight years since her daughter, Alana, came into this world,
following a terrifying sexual assault that left deep emotional
wounds Sara would do anything to forget. But when Sara's father
falls ill, she's forced to return home and face the ghosts of her
past. While caring for her father and running his bookstore, Sara
is desperate to protect her curious, outgoing, genius daughter from
the Wylers, the family of the man who assaulted her. Sara thinks
she can succeed-her attacker is in prison, his identical twin
brother, Jacob, left town years ago, and their mother are all
unaware Alana exists. But she soon learns that Jacob has also just
returned to Savannah to piece together the fragments of his
once-great family. And when their two worlds collide-with the type
of force Sara explores in her poetry and Jacob in his
astrophysics-they are drawn together in unexpected ways. Praise for
One Summer in Savannah: "Harris's provocative debut is beautifully
written, absorbing, and brimming with emotion and insight."
-Rochelle B. Weinstein, USA Today bestselling author of This Is Not
How It Ends "An unforgettable portrayal of familial tragedy,
bravery, and redemption." -Kim Michele Richardson, New York Times
bestselling author of The Book Woman's Daughter "Harris is
definitely a writer to watch!" -Catherine Adel West, author of The
Two Lives of Sara "A gorgeously written, tender examination of
love, loss, and the heart-wracking journey toward forgiveness."
-Lola Akinmade Akerstrom, international bestselling author of In
Every Mirror She's Black "One Summer in Savannah will turn readers'
hearts inside out." -Julie Carrick Dalton, author of The Last
Beekeeper
