"A radiant debut."—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Named One of the Hottest Reads of Summer 2022 by Today ∙ Parade ∙ PopSugar ∙ USA Today ∙ SheReads ∙ BuzzFeed ∙ BookBub ∙ Bustle ∙ and more! Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right. They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart. Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without. For six summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family’s restaurant and curling up together with books—medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress horror short stories for her—Percy and Sam had been inseparable. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart. When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can confront the decisions she made and the years she’s spent punishing herself for them, they’ll never know whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past. Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic story of love and the people and choices that mark us forever.

Determined to record every summer day, young history teacher Luke Devlin starts school vacation imagining he’ll describe backcountry adventures in the Rockies and sun-splashed days home in Denver. But all too soon the season veers into crisis, when his older brother faces life-threatening illness and Luke becomes entangled in a love affair that’s as fast-moving and possibly as fatal as his brother’s diagnosis. As Luke manages the household for his absent parents and struggles with the constant pressure of his unfinished master’s deadline, his fling with a Wyoming rancher grows serious just as his brother’s crisis overwhelms him. Luke’s love of his native ground and his search for romance collide with the hard realities of mortality and loss during an unexpected summer.

"The thrill of autobiography is in its "character." We hope to have introduced into our lives a life we've never met, a life of difference-that whatever we may think of this stranger, we emerge the better for hearing his or her story. Robert Klassen is a stranger I urge you to meet. He will not be a total stranger to many, for his books and ideas have introduced us to a new paradigm for the future. But just wait until you meet the author as a person. Survival is his challenge. How he does it is his gift to us." -Joe Taylor Ford, author of Zodiac Manager

Even as I belief in collective responsibility in order to effect positive change, I repeat this theme quite often, in the sense of what I want the world to get out of this work, and many of my work that follow through. Expediently! If anyone is to have unique meaning for this work. Please change every I in it to You that way you will know, it could be about you, and not about me .Even though it is From my soul to life, and the society I love it is a message of peace; love ; struggle; sacrifice; building of character, and harmony for all Gods children, were all Gods children .Thank you, and God bless you.
