The Summer We Came To Life

By Deborah Cloyed

‘Ingenious’ – Huffington Post.

Friendship never dies. Every summer, Samantha Wheland joins her childhood friends on a holiday. Always somewhere exotic, always somewhere fabulous. But this year one of the gang is missing. Since Sam’s best friend Mina lost her battle against cancer six months ago, she’s been struggling to find her way forward without her.

Lost and left behind, Sam finds herself relying on the diary Mina gave her before she died. It feels like a guardian angel sending signposts to life from beyond the grave. But what if the lines between worlds blurred… Sam thought that friendship could last forever but when it is tested beyond limits, will she make the ultimate sacrifice for a second chance at life?

‘Cloyed’s writing is as unique and stunning as the story she tells.’ - Diane Chamberlain
