Thirteen-year-old Jessie is not looking forward to spending the summer on Nantucket with her mom, Kate, and grandmother, Exalta. She desperately misses her older brother, Tiger, who is fighting in Vietnam, and her two older sisters, Blair and Kirby, who won't be there either. Blair is staying in Boston because she's expecting her first child with her husband, Angus, an MIT professor, and Kirby is working on Martha's Vineyard. Summer of '69 is told through the eyes of Jessie, Kate, Blair, and Kirby as they navigate their lives through a summer of change. The 1960's setting was a welcome recharge for this longtime Hilderbrand reader.
