author: Joyal, Monica
description: In 1974, Meghan was only twenty-two. She chose to marry Tom O'Reilly and spent wonderful years with him and their two children. She had never looked back…until now. Here she was again, spending a summer at her father's fishing camp, sorting through books and furniture, cleaning and rediscovering the world she had left behind. But this is 2014. She is sixty-two years old. Was there really a second act just waiting for her to accept?In One Pawtuckaway Summer, Meghan Macnamara O'Reilly discovers how much she really is her father's daughter. Amidst boats, tackle, the lake community, and a dog named Max, Meghan recognizes that a second chance can come at any age. Her mother had been right when she'd say: "Always wear sunscreen, but remember to expose yourself to life." One Pawtuckaway Summer brings Meghan back to crossroads she thought she would never be at again.
