Autumn’s Summer

Great loves come and go, profound ones mark your soul, in ways that take the rest of your lifetime to comprehend.

What if you were given up for adoption NOT because your mother didn't want you, but because she was trying to protect you from a curse?

A mysterious package is delivered by Richard’s solicitors one year after his wife Autumn’s death. What he expected to find, he didn’t know, but he would never have guessed in a million years what was about to unfold.

A beautiful leather-bound diary written in his wife’s hand contains many secrets; that his lonely empty-nester wife’s life changed profoundly after a purely-by-chance meeting in, of all places, a normal, mundane, corner grocery store. She embarks on a voyage of discovery with the spiritualist, Summer, to find new meaning to her life, that, once commenced, transports her to realms and dimensions she never knew existed.

He also learns of a heart-breaking secret and love affair she kept from him until after her death.

Idyllic. That was Richard’s understanding of his marriage. Although often away from their home on Sammamish Lake, he thought that his wife, Autumn, felt the same. But suddenly she develops a cancer as if from nowhere and very soon he is alone.

After a year and a day grieving for his beloved wife, Richard receives a package from their lawyers; her diary. He is to discover many secrets from it, but the first is that Autumn had been conducting an affair only not with a male. With a woman. Her best friend Summer. Richard knew that the friendship, although new, was deep and meaningful, but she was a spiritualist.
