Reproduction of the original: Two Summers in Guyenne by Edward Harrison Barker

The novel Two Summers of Adjustment was written in the 1980s and rewritten in 2014/2015. It focuses on several incidents that got the author interested to write the novel. One was the imprisonment of an innocent man and how he had to adjust to life after being exonerated. The other is on separating a father from his family for over nine years and his adjustment to a now mostly full-grown family. It is not easy to fit in, as Bradford Barclay, the hero of the novel, found out. Bradford Barclay, the major hero of this novel, faces both of these incidents. His child, Resa, a baby when he got unjustly imprisoned, was taken care of by the childs godfather, Joe Ferguson, a childhood blood-brother of Bradford. She stayed with her godfather until she was close to five years old. The connection between the child and the godfather was considerably strong, and Brad Barclay found himself in a situation where his child did not accept him as father and preferred to stay with her godfather and her godfathers son, Tim Ferguson. The novel takes the reader through a series of incidents where both Bradford Barclay and Joe Ferguson lose their wives and find themselves the only ones trying to make life as comfortable as possible for Resa without destroying the friendship they had formed and sealed with their blood as boys. Series of thoughts of Bradford Barclay and of Resa move the story forward and explain to the reader why the individuals behave in the way they behaved at any particular time.

A "captivating and bittersweet" novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Summer of '69: Their secret love affair has lasted for decades—but this could be the summer that changes everything (People). When Mallory Blessing's son, Link, receives deathbed instructions from his mother to call a number on a slip of paper in her desk drawer, he's not sure what to expect. But he certainly does not expect Jake McCloud to answer. It's the late spring of 2020 and Jake's wife, Ursula DeGournsey, is the frontrunner in the upcoming Presidential election. There must be a mistake, Link thinks. How do Mallory and Jake know each other? Flash back to the sweet summer of 1993: Mallory has just inherited a beachfront cottage on Nantucket from her aunt, and she agrees to host her brother's bachelor party. Cooper's friend from college, Jake McCloud, attends, and Jake and Mallory form a bond that will persevere—through marriage, children, and Ursula's stratospheric political rise—until Mallory learns she's dying. Based on the classic film Same Time Next Year (which Mallory and Jake watch every summer), 28 Summers explores the agony and romance of a one-weekend-per-year affair and the dramatic ways this relationship complicates and enriches their lives, and the lives of the people they love.
