A body found hanging from the ceiling fan in the tower room of the old manor house on Storm Island.
For nineteen years, Kate Pomeroy has suppressed that memory. A second-year-resident in surgery, she thinks she has her life under control. But a curious conversation overheard while taking a catnap launches her on a descent into a world filled with nightmarish visions that cause her to doubt her own sanity.
Sent to Storm Island to rest and recuperate from an apparent breakdown, Kate is forced to come to grips with memories of the summer her mother died as well as new terrors that plague her mind. Even the blossoming of an unexpected romance with islander, Jeremy Bradshaw, cannot keep her fears at bay for long.
The discovery of a strange little silo, hidden deep in the woods, spurs Kate to action as she tries to unravel its mysteries. But is the silo real or just another illusion created by her tortured mind?

SUMMER GIRL, A Novel
“Summer Girl isn't formula writing about a summer fling, but a deeper story of coming of age, sexual abuse in families and methods of survival” ~D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
Does first love, true love, ever really die?
Jake Chambers, born on Cutter Island, is coming home for the first time in more than a decade. But as the ferry approaches the wharf, he finds himself on a collision course with his past … memories of a summer long forgotten and a girl destined to haunt him forever.
Andi Martin is also back on Cutter and, as she sits on the porch of the Sloane cottage, her mind wanders back to that summer of 1965 and the boy who saved her life in so many ways.
Summer Girl is the story of Andi and Jake. Told in three distinct voices, it is a tale of love, loss, survival, and, most of all, hope.
