From the author of New York Times bestseller Garden Spells comes a beautiful, haunting story of old loves and new, and the power of the connections that bind us forever…

The first time Eby Pim saw Lost Lake, it was on a picture postcard.
Just an old photo and a few words on a small square of heavy stock, but
when she saw it, she knew she was seeing her future.

That was half a life ago. Now Lost Lake is about to slip into Eby’s
past. Her husband George is long passed. Most of her demanding extended
family are gone. All that’s left is a once-charming collection of
lakeside cabins succumbing to the Southern Georgia heat and damp, and an
assortment of faithful misfits drawn back to Lost Lake year after year
by their own unspoken dreams and desires.

It’s a lot, but not enough to keep Eby from relinquishing  Lost Lake
to a developer with cash in hand, and calling this her final summer at
the lake. Until one last chance at family knocks on her door.

Lost Lake is where Kate Pheris spent her last best summer at the age
of twelve,  before she learned of loneliness, and heartbreak, and loss.
Now she’s all too familiar with those things, but she knows about hope
too, thanks to her resilient daughter Devin, and her own willingness to
start moving forward. Perhaps at Lost Lake her little girl can cling to
her own childhood for just a little longer… and maybe Kate herself can
rediscover something that slipped through her fingers so long ago.

One after another, people find their way to Lost Lake, looking for
something that they weren’t sure they needed in the first place:  love,
closure, a second chance, peace, a mystery solved, a heart mended.  Can
they find what they need before it’s too late?

At once atmospheric and enchanting, Lost Lake shows Sarah
Addison Allen at her finest, illuminating the secret longings and the
everyday magic that wait to be discovered in the unlikeliest of places.
