Summer by the sea - a time to spread your wings, right? Leah has come to Dorset to collect seaweed samples for a nutrition research project. She's trying to leave behind a disastrous family life and is haunted by the death of her best friend, Claire. Here she meets Brendon, an Australian come to search for his mysteriously-vanished-from-the-family great grandfather. As Leah and Brendon form a summer friendship, their backgrounds catch up with them. But together they help each other see beyond the past. The Seasons by the Sea series combines profound emotional understanding with laugh-out-loud humour, where damaged three-dimensional characters are redeemed by love.
