The Hidden Summer  is a quietly beautiful coming of age story about self-discovery, family, and friendship. After their mothers have a falling out, 13 year old best friends are forbidden from seeing each other all summer. They find a hiding place at a golf course where they can spend their days together in spite of their mothers' restrictions.  An elegantly written children's book debut from an award-winning author in the vein of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn."  Suitable for middle grade readers and up.

Gin, a native of Montgomery and graduate of LAMP, is not only a critically acclaimed author, she's a passionate advocate for engaging young people in the craft of writing. She'd love to meet your aspiring young author.
