Summer of '69 by Elin Hilderbrand takes readers to the most turbulent summer of the 20th century, 1969. The Levin family is caught in the sweeping changes of the era. Blair, pregnant and stuck in Boston, is separated from her family;
Kirby fights for independence amid civil rights protests; and Tiger, the only son, is deployed to Vietnam. Thirteen-year-old Jessie feels abandoned as she stays with her grandmother in Nantucket, while each family member carries their own secrets. Amid historical events like the moon landing and the Chappaquiddick scandal, Hilderbrand masterfully weaves a story of family, change, and resilience.
