Meet me at the lake
(Book)

"You and me in one year ... Don't let me down. ---

Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about Will Baxter. She spent just twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive and idealistic artist, a chance encounter that spiraled into a daylong adventure in the city. The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable: they shared every secret, every dream, and made a pact to meet again one year later. Fern showed up. Will didn't." ... Publisher.
