Charlotte is frightened and returning to her home town of Hope Lake because she has no where else to go. Her mother moved her to New York City when she was 10 and Charlotte has never returned. In fact Charlotte's mother made Hope Lake sound so horrible Charlotte never wanted to return and with her father and grandmother visiting her in New York City she never had to. What Charlotte finds in Hope Lake surprises her, it is nothing like her mother described. In Hope Lake Charlotte finds what she never knew she was missing, family, friends, and community. A story of becoming yourself.

Thanks to the publishers and the NetGalley for providing an ARC for my honest review.
