Review
“Pleasant....Page’s knack for characterization...helps nudge things toward an appropriately affirmative ending.” (Publishers Weekly )
Product Description
From Jean Reynolds Page—the critically acclaimed author of The Space Between Before and After and one of the most compelling voices in contemporary women's fiction—comes a dazzling novel of loss and redemption, of relationships that damage and those that heal.
Thirty-nine and pregnant by a man she's decided to leave behind in California, Jules' life is changing. Always the protected daughter, she must now relinquish that role and prepare to be a mother herself. But her efforts are upstaged by shocking allegations from a local teen in her North Carolina hometown. The boy has accused her of what the police are calling “inappropriate sexual contact.” Three men rally in her defense: Lincoln, her brother, who flies in from New York to help her; Sam, her high school boyfriend, who after so many years still offers unconditional support; and Walt, the uncle of the teen, who charms Jules with his intelligence and unanticipated kindness.
Her search for the truth about the troubled teenager becomes, for Jules, a first step toward discovering the woman she wishes to be. But with so many wrong choices behind her, how can she trust herself with the future of her unborn child?

Quick Easy Read, Sep 20 2011
By sspice44 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Last Summer Of Her Other Life (Paperback)
Good characters, interesting plot, sustainable romance. I read a lot of heavy novels, and this was a nice, uplifting break. I'll pick up this author again.

A Book Club Recoimmendation - Rather Shallow, Feb 13 2011
By C.S.R. - Published on Amazon.com
Not the best book I have ever read, but a good read nevertheless. I wanted the characters to grow up and stop feeling sorry for themselves. A quick read with not a lot of substance or depth.
