Seeking Sara Summers
Sara Summers Stanton has raised three children and works as a high school teacher at the same school she attended growing up. Her 25 year marriage is showing cracks in the facade and now she's dealing with breast cancer. In a rare moment of taking care of herself instead of everyone else, Sara takes a sabbatical and goes on the trip to Italy she has always dreamed of taking. This search for a more authentic life leads to Julia, a friend she hasn't seen since they were inseparable as girls, nearly 30 years earlier. They reunite in Florence and their friendship continues where they left off, resulting in an unexpected attraction to one another that threatens to turn Sara's already shaky world upside down. What do you do if you fall in love with your best friend? Sara's inner conflict and subsequent choices reveal an unpredictable yet dynamic future for all the characters. Seeking Sara Summers is an emotional and lyrical novel, a timeless story about love, commitment and transformation.

Seeking Sara Summers is as enchanting as the warm Italian sun and sweet wine. Susan creates a story that flows easily and just carries you along. It doesn't feel like reading-it feels like living your life within the storyline of Sara's failed marriage and need to rediscover yourself.
Susan beautifuly describes what it feels like to fall in love, how hard it is to admit your true fellings even to yourself and the relief it eventually brings. It's never too late to live your life; it's never wrong to love.
Highly recomended!

SEEKING SARA SUMMERS by Susan Gabriel is one of the most engaging novels I've read lately.
Susan Gabriel perfectly captures the twenty (plus) year marriage of most of the women I know, including me. The writing is superb, and for those who must have third person POV, here it is -- well done.
Sara's self-rediscovery is encouraging, though her life takes on a twist that most women won't experience. It is hopeful that the cautious-caretaking-zipyourcoat-fastenyourhelmet-Iloveyou mom can learn to breathe easy again and find her forgotten self after the kids are launched 'safely' into adulthood. I only hope we are as brave as Sara.
Seeking Sara Summers is a great read and if I did book reviews, I'd give it a million stars for courage and hope.
