Thousand Summers

A Thousand Summers is a coming-of-age story about two young girls who share their summers in Seaside, Oregon throughout the 1960's and the apparition who keeps bringing them back.

As a child, Massey Roberts and her mama rent a small beach cottage each year. Here, the salty warm air gives them an appetite, browns their skin to a healthy glow, and all but carries the fearful echoes of winters out to sea. For three months each year, mother and daughter live a fantasy life; free and safe from Massey’s abusive father.

Caroline Lang, wife of big attorney David Lang, lives in Chicago, Illinois.  Struggling with her unfaithful husband and demanding, bitter father, she begins to have dreams of a small enchanting beach town on the Oregon Coast. A place she has never visited. Encouraged by her best friend, Caroline packs up her two daughters and sets out on an adventure in search of Paradise.
