Five summers to fall in love, one moment to fall apart, and a weekend to get it right. A magazine writer faces a pivotal choice upon returning to her childhood lake and the man she thought she’d lost forever. For Persephone Fraser, the saying "you can never go home again" resonates deeply, especially after the mistake that altered her life a decade ago. Instead of enjoying summers by the lake, she now spends her days in a stylish city apartment, socializing while keeping her heart at a distance. A sudden call brings her back to Barry's Bay and into the life of Sam Florek. Their five summers together were filled with lazy afternoons on the water, evenings in his family restaurant, and shared moments over medical textbooks and horror stories. Their friendship blossomed into something beautiful before it fell apart. Returning for Sam's mother's funeral reignites their undeniable connection, forcing Percy to confront her past decisions and the self-imposed punishment that followed. She must decide if their love can transcend the mistakes that have haunted them. Spanning five years and one weekend, this story explores love and the enduring impact of choices on our lives.
