Neston

Ette Durand's plans for the summer of 1964 take a surprising turn when an Olympic swimming hopeful arrives to wait tables at her parents' lakeside Vermont inn. Dieter Norden attracts attention, and when he and Ette spend time together, her friends take notice. Over the summer, her bonds with them-and the unlikely connection between her and Dieter-are tested until Ette comes to the crossroad of choice. She can go the way of the world and fit in, or she can count the cost and take an unexpected journey of faith.

The beginning of a beautiful friendship and the start of one long story, Neston is the first book in The Neston Novels Series. Set in Wortham County, a fictional locale in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, Neston is undergoing change from timber town to tourist destination. Follow Ette Durand and Dieter Norden throughout the series as they navigate the choppy waters of the 1960s and beyond.
