When Daniel Carter returns to his small Missouri hometown to help his aging mother save the family house, he expects a quick visit, not a reckoning with the life he left behind. As old memories resurface, family secrets emerge, and a lost love reenters his world, Daniel begins to question everything he once believed about success, home, and happiness.

The Last Summer on Hawthorne Street is a heartfelt novel about aging parents, second chances, and the quiet power of ordinary lives.
