Overview
Once again, Sara Rath has written a page-turner of a novel set in the present but brimming with historical authenticity. The star-crossed story of writer Jenny Burgess's summer in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, where she plans to research a century-old unsolved murder, links the rough and rowdy history of the region with the reality of sex trafficking today. Fast-paced, fluidly written, chock full of sharply drawn and loveable characters, salted with some dashes of mystery and romantic entanglement, Accidental Summer is fun to read while drawing our attention to a serious and persistent social problem.Author Bio
Michael Hittle is a retired history professor from Lawrence University, Appleton, Wisconsin. During his 35 years on the faculty—including eight as dean of the faculty—he taught the history of Russia and authored The Service City: State and Townsmen in Russia 1600-1800. Since retiring he has traveled with his wife, Marcia, pursued his life-long passion for fishing, and spent a great deal of time at the family's cabin on the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage, where he has served on the board of the lake association and worked on chronicling the history of this fabled body of water.
