Marci Nault - The Lake House

Achingly tender, yet filled with laughter, The Lake House ($15.00) is a novel that brings to life the wide range of human emotions and the difficult journey from heartbreak to healing.

VICTORIA ROSE. Fifty years before, a group of teenage friends promised each other never to leave their idyllic lakeside town. But the call of Hollywood and a bigger life was too strong for Victoria . . . and she alone broke that pledge. Now she has come home, intent on making peace with her demons, even if her former friends shut her out. Haunted by tragedy, she longs to find solace with her childhood sweetheart, but even this tender man may be unable to forgive and forget.

HEATHER BREGMAN. At twenty-eight, after years as a globe-trotting columnist, she’s abandoned her controlling fiancé and their glamorous city life to build one on her own terms. Lulled by a Victorian house and a gorgeous locale, she’s determined to make the little community her home. But the residents, fearful of change and outsiders, will stop at nothing to sabotage her dreams of lakeside tranquility.

As Victoria and Heather become unlikely friends, their mutual struggle to find acceptance—with their neighbors and in their own hearts—explores the chance events that shape a community and offer the opportunity to start again.

Marci Nault, author of The Lake House and the creator of 101 Dreams Come True, a motivational website about going after your dreams, will speak about her journey to complete 101 of her biggest dreams in life, including publishing The Lake House with Gallery/ Simon & Schuster; living in Florence; becoming an adult competitive figure skater; and many more. To date she's completed 91. She'll discuss how making her list helped her to stay motivated to pursue the dream of writing and publishing her novel and how accomplishing dreams in other areas of her life taught her to overcome the fear that happens when facing the blank page. Marci's story has been featured on CBS, ABC, NPR, and North American radio stations and publications. The Lake House is a Chicago Tribune, CBS, and Cape May Herald summer read pick.
