THE LAST SUMMER AT CHELSEA BEACH

Summer 1941Young Adelia Montforte flees fascist Italy for America where she is whisked away to the shore by her well-meaning aunt and uncle. Here she meets and falls for Charlie Connally the eldest of the four Irish-Catholic boys next door. But all hopes for a future together are soon throttled by the war and a tragedy that hits much closer to home. Grief-stricken Addie flees—first to Washington and then to war-torn London—and finds a position at a prestigious newspaper as well as a chance to redeem lost time lost family…and lost love. But the past always nips at her heels demanding to be reckoned with. And in a final fateful choice Addie discovers that the way home may be a path she never suspected.
