The Summer Son

When Mitch Quillen’s
life begins to unravel, he fears there is no escape. His marriage and
his career are both failing, and his relationship with his father has
been a disaster for decades. Approaching forty, Mitch doesn’t want to
become a middle-aged statistic. When his estranged father, Jim, suddenly
calls, Mitch’s wife urges him to respond. Ready for a change, Mitch
heads to Montana and a showdown that will alter the course of his life.
Amid a backdrop of rugged peaks and valleys, the story unfolds: a
violent episode that triggered the rift, thirty years of
miscommunication, and the possibility of misplaced blame. Craig
Lancaster follows his award-winning debut, 600 Hours of Edward, with a
powerful novel that invites readers into a family where conflict and
secrets prevail, and where hope for healing and redemption is possible.
