About The Summer Before: If the perpetrator is also someone you love, there are no words. Madeline and Summer are more than best friends. They might as well be sisters; they’ve claimed the title, anyway-and sisters tell each other everything. But Summer has a secret she’s been hiding for years. Someone’s been hurting her, someone close, and when it comes out, it destroys everything around her with the force of dying stars. Six years after the trial, Madeline is a haunted young woman trying to build a new life in Boston, but the guilt of her betrayal brings her to the brink of [censored]. To let go of the past, Madeline must confront her father, mother, and all those involved with the trial that split her family apart-or continue her descent, finishing what she started to escape it. About the Author: A raw, gritty New Englander, Dianne C. Braley, is a registered nurse and freelance writer. Dianne and her family, both human, furry, and feathered, are firmly planted in a small town north of Boston, not far enough away to lose her city edge. After falling in love with Martha's Vineyard on a weekend visit as a girl, she returns every summer, reigniting her passion for writing in the magical place that inspired it. sawyerfreelibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/author-talk-with-diane-c-bradley-the-summer-before/
