The Summer I Dared by Barbara Delinsky
From New York Times bestselling author Barbara Delinsky comes a powerful and deeply moving novel of survival, second chances, and the courage to live life on your own terms.
After a tragic boating accident off the coast of Maine claims nine lives, three survivors are left forever changed: Julia Bechtel, a forty-year-old wife and mother; Noah Prine, a quiet lobsterman who pulled survivors from the wreckage; and Kim Colella, a young woman whose silence holds unanswered questions.
For Julia, the experience awakens something long buried. Branded “loyal” and “obedient” by her family and husband, she begins to see the world—and herself—differently. On the rugged island of Big Sawyer, surrounded by sea and solitude, Julia finds herself drawn to both Noah and Kim, and to a new, more daring way of being.
As she reevaluates everything she thought she knew, Julia must decide what truly matters. Because when life gives you a second chance, how do you find the strength to take it?
The Summer I Dared is a celebration of resilience, connection, and the quiet bravery it takes to start again.
