"The perfect escape for readers wanting to get away."—Booklist

One woman takes the vacation of a lifetime in this poignant and heartwarming story about the threads that hold a family together from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery.
Single mom Robyn Caldwell needs a new plan for her future. She has always put her family first. Now, with her kids grown, she yearns for a change. But what can she do when her daughter has become the most demanding bride ever, her son won't even consider college, her best friend is on the brink of marital disaster and her ex is making a monumentally bad decision that could ruin everything?
Take a vacation, of course. Press reset. When her great-aunt Lillian invites her to Santa Barbara for the summer, Robyn hops on the first plane to sunny California.
But it's hard to get away when you're the heart of the family. One by one, everyone she loves follows her across the country. Somehow, their baggage doesn't feel as heavy in the sun-drenched, mishmash mansion. The more time Robyn spends with free-spirited Lillian, the more possibilities she sees—for dreams, love, family. She can have everything she ever wanted, if only she can muster the courage to take a chance on herself.

Don't miss #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery's latest masterpiece, For the Love of Summer, a captivating story that weaves together the complexities of family, friendship, and unexpected bonds.

        When life overwhelms Robyn Caldwell, she escapes to her Great-Aunt Lillian's antique-filled California mansion, and narrator Tanya Eby brings the listener along. Robyn leaves behind her teenage son and spoiled daughter, and dumps her obnoxious boyfriend in Florida. Eby deftly portrays all the characters. She embodies Robyn's bridezilla daughter and captures her transformation into a self-aware adult after she follows her mother to California. Eby brings out the sleaze of Robyn's ex-boyfriend, providing an excellent contrast to the charm of Mason, who will inherit the mansion. As 94-year-old Lillian, Eby depicts a delicate yet spirited woman. Listeners will be rooting for Robyn to find happiness--hopefully, with Mason. S.B. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
