Summer of '69: A Journey Back in Time
Imagine the world in the summer of 1969. People are landing on the moon, music festivals are changing the course of history, and every corner you turn, there’s a revolution of sorts. Elin Hilderbrand’s “Summer of '69” takes you right there, letting you live through a season filled with remarkable events, personal struggles, and unforgettable moments. 🌞
Welcome to Nantucket, a place where the Levin family has always gathered for their summer vacation. This year, though, things are different. The eldest daughter, Blair, is stuck in Boston, pregnant with twins and dealing with a rocky marriage. Kirby, the middle sister, is in Martha's Vineyard, discovering her independence and partaking in civil rights protests. Meanwhile, Tiger, the only son, is off fighting in Vietnam. That leaves Jessie, the youngest, trying to find her place in a summer that feels utterly strange and lonely.
As Jessie navigates her own adolescence, she discovers secrets about her family that make her summer anything but boring. With the historical backdrop of the moon landing and the hippie movement, each chapter is filled with the essence of the 60s. 🌙✌️
