The Sweet Side of Summer is an uplifting midlife story about friendship, courage, and discovering that the best chapters of your life are the ones you write for yourself.

Starting over at fifty wasn't the plan -- but sometimes the life you didn't choose becomes exactly what you need.

When Amy Brookfield's husband's betrayal shatters her marriage and her future, she returns to Cottonwood Springs, the small Colorado mountain town she once called home. Working at the local tackle store isn't the fresh start she imagined, but it's all she has.

Then she meets Mack, the quiet store owner with the heart of a poet whose steady presence and unexpected understanding remind her what it feels like to be truly seen. With the support of Mack and her lifelong friend Charlotte, Amy launches a small business that empowers women in the community -- and begins to rebuild not just her life, but her sense of purpose.

Just as Amy starts to believe in this new future, her ex-husband returns, threatening to disrupt the peace she's built -- and pull her back into old patterns of rescue and guilt. But this time, Amy has something she didn't have before: a community that has her back and the courage to choose herself.

*****
