Summer Breeze

About the Book

Every year, Emma looks forward to a month of peace and relaxation at her summer cottage deep in the Gatineau Valley. Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city of Toronto, she forgets her demanding artist or clients. Being a well-renowned art critic and owner of a famous art gallery, her days or nights are never her own; it’s always invitations to parties or galas, meeting famous people, or trying to sell the work of an upcoming artist. Her life was not her own; she felt like it was everyone else’s but hers. Little did she know that year, the month of August 2003, would be everything but peaceful and quiet. She never planned on falling in love with a childhood friend or being harassed by an Italian man; her life was never threatened by truckers, nor by no means was she ever caught in the middle of a drug war. After her holidays, will her life ever be quiet again? Will she return to her soltice?
