With a rare combination of emotional insight, narrative power, and lyrical grace, Justin Cronin transforms the simple story of a dying man's last wish into a rich tapestry of family love.

On an evening in late summer, the great financier Harry Wainwright, nearing the end of his life, arrives at a rustic fishing camp in a remote area of Maine. He comes bearing two things: his wish for a day of fishing in a place that has brought him solace for thirty years, and an astonishing bequest that will forever change the lives of those around him.

From the battlefields of Italy to the turbulence of the Vietnam era, to the private battles of love and family, The Summer Guest reveals the full history of this final pilgrimage and its meaning for four people: Jordan Patterson, the haunted young man who will guide Harry on his last voyage out; the camp's owner Joe Crosby, a Vietnam draft evader who has spent a lifetime "trying to learn what it means to be brave"; Joe's wife, Lucy, the woman Harry has loved for three decades; and Joe and Lucy's daughter Kate--the spirited young woman who holds the key to the last unopened door to the past.

As their stories unfold, secrets are revealed, courage is tested, and the bonds of love are strengthened. And always center stage is the place itself--a magical, forgotten corner of New England where the longings of the human heart are mirrored in the wild beauty of the landscape.

Intimate, powerful, and profound, The Summer Guest reveals Justin Cronin as a storyteller of unique and marvelous talent. It is a book to treasure.

spray top lids fail after a few uses
Style: SPF 50, Size: 10 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is awesome. It stays on for a long time, even when swimming. It has almost no odor, which is great if you don't want to walk around with that summer sun screen smell. The reason I am giving this only one star is because of the canister. The spray top lid is very hard to press, and only works a few times before completely jamming, rendering the product useless. This is a huge problem if you are taking it on a river float, or camping where you can't just run out to the store and get another one if it stops working. I love this sunscreen and I really wish I could make it my summer go to, but have had so many of the lids malfunction that I will never buy this product again. It is expensive for sunscreen. They should figure out their packaging.

a fave
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Disappears into skin quickly, feels like nothing, looks like nothing (no white residue, streaks or discoloration). The fragrance free truly is. I reapply after a couple of hours or prolonged time in salt water even though I don't _feel_ like I need to (I'm not naturally pale) and have not had any burns since I started using Alba products, whereas before, I got occasional burns even from the better, former favorite, brands. I love this brand and the products are prominent on my subscribe and save lists. Once in a blue moon, the spray lid sticks and the can goes in the trash. BUT this happens once in a blue moon with just about every brand I've tried.

Great, when the can works
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the only sunscreen I buy anymore. Clear, easy to use and no significant smell. Plus air powered spray and biodegradable. No of which matters, though, when the can won't spray at all or just gives a weak spray that leaves sunscreen in wet spots or no coverage on your arms. Too expensive to not work.

excellent for oily or acne prone skin
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
my skin type is highly reactive to sunscreen and I often have to juggle the desire for sun protection with awful break outs the next day. this is so far the only spray sunblock that's not stupid expensive that hasn't caused acne. only complaint is that it seems there's not much of the actual product in the can, but that could be due to the fact that I use a lot of it. 10/10

Lightweight, easy to apply, and perfect to use over makeup!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This has become my go-to sunscreen, especially for days when I’m in and out of the sun and need quick, reliable coverage. The spray goes on light and even, no thick, sticky feeling or weird white cast. I have sensitive skin and usually react to sunscreens with fragrance or heavy ingredients, but this one has not caused any irritation. I also appreciate that it's fragrance-free and water-resistant, so I can wear it at the beach or on a hike without worrying about reapplying constantly. It feels more like skincare than sunscreen, and I feel confident applying it over my makeup, not worrying that it will make it look cakey or run.
