Summary: A beautiful story
Review: Daria Cato, unlike her older sister, cousin, or mother, enjoys waking up early and walking along the beach on North Carolina's Outer Banks. On her eleventh birthday, Daria begins her solitary stroll along the Kill Devil Hills Beach when she finds a discarded new born whose afterbirth remains attached to her. She brings the baby to her home, which leads to the child's life being saved. When no mother is discovered, Daria's family adopts the baby, raising Shelly as their own.Over the years, Daria's parents die and her sister becomes a nun. Daria raises Shelly. However, unbeknownst to Daria, Shelly has written a letter to a former neighbor, Rory Taylor, who is the famous host and producer of TV's popular True Life Stories. Since Rory is very good at uncovering mysteries, Shelly wants him to identify her birth parents. Rory was a teen when Daria found Shelly. He has always been a bit haunted by her story. As he begins his investigation, Daria worries about Shelly and opposes his inquiries. However, Daria and Rory fall in love even as the truth rocks a small coastal community. SUMMER'S CHILD is a taut romantic suspense that digs deep into psychological relationships between people and the after effects of their relationships. The story line is fast-paced with the mystery of Shelly perfectly plotted. The lead characters are a delightful duo and the prime supporting cast (Daria's sister, Shelly, and Rory's son) adds depth. As with KEEPER OF THE LIGHT, Diane Chamberlain writes novels that entertains readers with a suspense-laden insight into the human condition. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Summer's Child
Review: Diane Chamberlain kept me in suspense through this entire book. I could not put it down. The identy of the baby was a huge surprise and I could not have guessed who the mother was. A really good read and one that will keep you coming back for more Chamberlain in the future.

Summary: Interesting and original story
Review: Early one morning while walking on the beach, Daria found a newborn baby. Bringing the baby to her mother, she saved the babies life. Unable to find the mother the baby girl was adopted by Daria's family. Now, 22 years later, the baby is a young woman and wishes to find her mother. After contacting a television producer, she allows an old friend of the family to delve into her past. But this is not a mystery that the family wishes to have solved, and the more facts that are brought up the more questions are asked. Who was Shelley's birth mother that left her on the beach to die all those years ago? Summer's Child is the second book I've read by Diane Chamberlain. While not nearly as heart stopping, page turning as Breaking the Silence, this book will keep the pages turning and surprise the reader in the end

Summary: A DUD!
Review: Have read far better from this author in the past and was sadly disappointed. Too far fetched and ultimately both boring and predictable.
Rating:
Summary: Another winner for Chamberlain!
Review: I am a huge fan of Diane Chamberlain and I always grab her books as soon as they come out. This novel lacked a bit of the suspense that some of her other books have but it was still a nice read and I would recommend it.
